Two main issues are relevant for understanding of the phenomenon of integration. First, it is the question which factors motivate the given subjects to try to connect with each other in a wider whole and second, how a consensus is achieved on the procedure (the policy framework and legal principles) and substantial issues (i.e. solving of the core problems of the community integration). Therefore, the subject of the study is the following question: what leads to integration, how it works and how it is achieved.
