Summary/Abstract: Preparation of the Slovak Republic for membership in NATO in 2001 first followed the Annual National Programme PRENAME 2001 approved by the Government of the SR on 27th September 2000 and subsequently the Updated Annual National Programme PRENAME 2001 (UANP PRENAME 2001) approved by the Government of the SR on 28th March 2001.In the UANP PRENAME 2001 the goals and tasks of preparation of the SR were set on national level and were divided in accordance with the Membership Action Plan - (MAP) into five chapters: 1. Political and economic issues; 2. Defence and military issues; 3. Sources; 4. Security issues; 5. Legal issues. By fulfilment of tasks and goals of the UANP PRENAME 2001 the preparation of the SR to take over the commitments resulting from the expected future membership in the Alliance shifted to a qualitatively higher level. At the same time the structures and mechanisms of the process of preparation of the SR for the NATO membership were improved within the whole PRENAME system and in single participating resorts. Fulfilment of conditions for integration of the SR to the Alliance had a complex nature and concerned many aspects of the society life.
