Summary/Abstract: The new NATO strategic concept shown in the article defines basic security tasks, showing priorities directly connected to both collective defence of NATO members, and to strengthening of security and stability in the whole Euro-Atlantic area (partnership and crises control). Evaluating the defence environment, positive changes are emphasized, simultaneously showing the risk and a number of challenges that already exist and may arise in the future. It is assumed that the biggest threats for NATO are local conflicts and crises, including military and non-military threats of a new kind, such as ethnic and religious conflicts, violation of human rights, proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, terrorism, organised crime, etc., which NATO will have to deal with now and in the near future. The conditions and problems involved in the implementation of the new strategic concept, as well as their origins are presented in the further part of the article.
