Summary/Abstract: Most of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe have radically transformed in a positive direction in recent decades. The former East-West boundary has disappeared and the Euro-Atlantic democratic space has spread throughout Europe. Several Western Balkan countries are already credible aspirants for NATO membership, and some of them have signed Stabilization and Association Agreement. The rest have strongly committed to follow suit. Due to direct involvement of NATO and EU, internal changes and processes that led to these memberships as well as obligations that keep them inside, this part of Europe has never been more secure in its memorable history. Although internal driving forces for reform in the countries of the SEE remain weak, it is worth noting that these countries have made vivid irreversible steps and commitment on their paths toward the EU, and for those that have not, it is much more a question of ‘how’, and not ‘whether’.
