Neovisnost

Neovisnost is a term that generally refers to the state of being independent or self-governing. The specific meaning and context of neovisnost can vary depending on the language and cultural background in which it is used. In many Slavic languages, the root "ne-" signifies negation or absence, while "ovisnost" relates to dependence or reliance. Therefore, neovisnost directly translates to the absence of dependence.

This concept is most frequently encountered in discussions about national sovereignty and political self-determination. A nation or territory that achieves neovisnost has broken free from external control or domination, establishing its own government and the ability to make its own decisions. This can be a result of peaceful negotiations, political movements, or armed conflict. The process of attaining neovisnost often involves significant historical, social, and economic factors.

Beyond the political sphere, neovisnost can also describe individual autonomy or freedom from external constraints. An individual can be described as having neovisnost if they are capable of making their own choices and living without being unduly influenced or controlled by others. This can relate to personal, financial, or intellectual independence. The pursuit and maintenance of neovisnost are often considered fundamental human aspirations.
