The Stability Pact for South-East Europe Security Aspects

In: Politicka misao, Band 37, Heft 5, S. 144-149

Abstract

In search for security stability in the Balkans, one of mechanisms with great potential for solving numerous security issues between states of the region is the Stability Pact. Its primary scope of activities lies not in area of military security, but in a combat against new "soft" security threats (illegal trafficking of narcotics & weapons, illegal immigration, combat against organized crime in the region, ecological security). For Croatia, the framework of the Stability Pact could be one of the means for improving Croatian relations with neighbor states, especially with Bosnia & Herzegovina. In that regard, the Stability Pact is one of the means for achieving the Croatian strategic goal -- membership in the Euroatlantic institutions (NATO & EU). 11 References.
