The process of economic and political integrations initiated in Western Europe after WWII is still lasting. While the almost half century long assembling in the eastern (socialist) part of Europe ended by disintegration, the embryo of today's European Union -- an economic community made up of six west European countries, expanded, for the moment, to 27 European countries. European Union grew from the economic alliance to the political community with some attributes of contemporary states. The article shows the European Union's and in Republic Serbia's executive power bodies position. By comparing the executive part of the power organization in a parliamentary Republic and complex political creation such as European Union, similarities and differences arise, which are at the same time similarities and differences between the state and the political community which is not (yet) a state. Despite not being a constitution, Lisbon Treaty (2007) with the innovations and the executive power's governance position, favors further integration of the European Union. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
