Summary/Abstract: Since 2006, more precisely since Bosnia and Herzegovina joined the Partnership for Peace (PfP), there is intense controversy and discussions on the topic - for and against the NATO in the in the Bosnian-Herzegovinian public. In this context, this topic was used as an argument to politically opposed parties, which created negative and positive attitudes about NATO integration, but also to discussions of "military neutrality". In the context mentioned, the notion of NATO membership is treated differently, but there is agreement that it is an integration in which Bosnia and Herzegovina already participates and that all the resources of society should be engaged in the preservation of vital interests and values. Hence the determination to analyze the arguments for and against BiH's membership in NATO, on an objective level, using a descriptive method. The results of objective, balanced arguments based mainly on the experience of other countries are currently on the side of Bosnia and Herzegovina's membership in NATO.
