Regionális biztonság – macedón szemszögből
Regional security – a Macedonian perspective

Summary/Abstract: Today the Western Balkans can claim to have moved beyond the period of reconstruction and stabilization. The current issues are development, and NATO and EU accession. It would be accurate to state that preserving and bolstering the region’s security and prosperity now depends on the dynamics of comprehensive national security reforms, on developing close and ongoing regional security cooperation, and on the pace of NATO and EU integration. “From a regional perspective, the Western Balkans face similar security threats as the rest of Europe,” writes the author, Macedonia’s minister of defence. “The threats do not stop at national borders. They include international terrorism, the spread of weapons of mass destruction, the collapse of failed states, and organized crime. What makes them special is their respective intensity, and the differences among the countries of the region in terms of their capacity to handle risks.”
