IN ENGLISH: The paper examines the dual nature of Macron's Europeanism – his balance between republicanism and Europeanism. Using a qualitative methodology and an interpretive approach, some of Macron's most important speeches from 2017 to 2024 and some of his policies were analysed. The theoretical framework – realist constructivism – is used as an analytical tool for analysing Emmanuel Macron's policies. The paper also analyses the influence of the political context, Macron's political predecessors and the EU polycrisis on his Europeanism, as well as the role and relationship of values and interests in shaping his Europeanism. Furthermore, two initiatives – the European Political Community and the European Sky Shield Initiative – and their contribution to these relationships are exemplified. The paper concludes that Macron has clearly combined these two approaches with his plea for hard power and focus on protecting security interests on the one hand and his emphasis on the importance of values and the protection of norms on the other. --------------- IN CROATIAN: Rad ispituje dvojaku prirodu Macronovog europeizma – njegovu ravnotežu između republikanizma i europeizma. Koristeći kvalitativnu metodologiju i interpretativni pristup, analizirani su neki od Macronovih najvažnijih govora od 2017. do 2024. godine i neke od njegovih ključnih politika. Teorijski okvir – realistički konstruktivizam – koristi se kao analitički alat za analizu politika Emmanuela Macrona. Rad također analizira utjecaj političkog konteksta, Macronovih političkih prethodnika i polikrize EU, kao i ulogu i odnos vrijednosti i interesa u oblikovanju njegovog europeizma. Nadalje, primjerima se prikazuju dvije inicijative – Europska politička zajednica i Inicijativa Europski nebeski štit – i njihov doprinos tim odnosima. Rad zaključuje kako je Macron kombinirao dva pristupa europeizmu zalagajući se za tvrdu moć i sigurnosne interese s jedne strane te naglašavajući važnost vrijednosti i normi s druge strane.
