THE WEST BALKANS’ STATES INTEGRATION WITHIN EU AND NATO
Journal Title: Impact Strategic - Year 2008, Vol 26, Issue 1
Abstract
In this space, for ages, the persistence of crisis and conflicts is a constant of reality – we mean the Balkans -, the Europe’s permanent and total non-involvement in the topics related with stability and the development leaves space for expanding the risks, dangers and threats on the continent’s peace, security and prosperity. Especially the situation from Kosovo urges the European and the Euro-Atlantic leaders to actively engage in solving out the West Balkans’ complex issues, the intraregional and the regional cooperation, creating democratic institutions, the fight against corruption and organised crime, the integration of this space within EU and NATO, as a solution for a peaceful future and a lasting development.
