ABSTRACT
Leaving mono-cultural (Christian) Europe and the transition to
multiculturalism which is the result of colonial and post-colonial policies
of many European countries, creates new challenges in the fi eld of
integration. One of the possible instruments of integration is education.
Th e study presents and evaluates the current university education integration
process, and there are also presented some possible scenarios for
further development of this form of integration. Th e process of European
integration, supported by education, includes not only the content, the
programs, or courses of study, but also the system of formation the future
generations of the Europeans. Applying the education as an instrument
of the European integration has been performed since the nineties of the
twentieth century. Nowadays it is being run in accordance with the Treaty
of Lisbon and many other normative acts of the EU, aiming to create
a standardized educational space in Europe. However, this raises the fundamental
question of the degree of social acceptance of such the processes
and their eff ectiveness. For this purpose, the study analyzes the EU political
normative acts, applying the statistical data and the elements of public
opinion statements published in the leading European media.
