IMPLEMENTING THE NEW STRATEGIC CONCEPT BASED ON NATO’S POLITICAL GUIDANCE
IMPLEMENTING THE NEW STRATEGIC CONCEPT BASED ON NATO’S POLITICAL GUIDANCE

Summary/Abstract: The membership of the Alliance brings about the fair sharing of roles, risks and responsibilities. In this context, the budget meant for defence within the national GDP, as well as the percentage from this budget allocated for procurement expenditure are indicators of the effort of a member state in the field of defence. In essence, it is recommended that member states should constantly allocate 2%or more of their GDP for defence. The member countries that frequently allocate resources under this percentage are advised to stop doing so and increase the level of budgetary allocations, in keeping with the commitments made. In the same context, they are also advised to keep the procurement allocations in real terms at least at one fifth of the budget meant for defence, with the purpose of transforming the existing units in deployable, modern units, which are logistically sustainable and have interoperable forces.
