Major Aspects of Poland’s Security Policy
Major Aspects of Poland’s Security Policy

Summary/Abstract: In 2005, the major directions of Polish security policy did not change. In the trans-Atlantic dimension, significant priority continued to be given to cooperation within the structures of NATO and the strengthening of the partnership with the U.S. Thus, the participation of Polish soldiers in alliance and coalition peace operations and in stability missions should be considered from such a point of view. In the European arena, the role of the European Union has been strengthened, and particularly Poland’s activity within the European Security and Defence Policy. However, as lengthy trans-Atlantic debates and arguments had a negative impact on the quality of works within NATO and the EU, it was objectively more difficult to carry out our security policy in its institutional aspect. New opportunities for cooperation with our European partners did emerge, however, in particular within the Weimar Triangle, the Visegrad Group and with the Baltic states.
