Summary/Abstract: The year 2005 was the first whole year of Slovakia’s membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the European Union and the first year of evaluation in this regard. The SR was able to react to the fundamental change of its political-security situation after the accession to NATO and the EU and despite several enduring problems Slovakia has achieved a number of considerable successes in the security and defense fields throughout this period. The National Council of the SR passed new security documents in September 2005 – The Security Strategy of the Slovak Republic and Defense Strategy of the Slovak Republic – while this year, Slovakia continued its active participation in 14 missions and operations, comprised of 563 members towards the end of the year.
