• And, in accordance with international law.

The State Union does not have a National Security Council. (Nor does any of the member states.)

A set mechanism through which the Security Threats and Challenges can be interpreted, does not exist.

Nor is there any other formal body or forum where the “products” of the intelligence community would be presented, debated and verified in order to be presented to top decision-makers.

A quote from the Introduction to the Defence Strategy of

Serbia and Montenegro:

“Serbia and Montenegro confirms its new approach to membership in international security structures, firstly to the NATO Partnership for Peace Program and the NATO Alliance, based upon the democratic will of the citizens, and to other European and Euro-Atlantic integration processes.”

(The Defence Strategy was adopted on 18 November 2004 by the Parliament of the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro)

Traditional security and defence concepts have become obsolete – globalising world.

Changes in international relations require new defence and security concepts – where national, regional and global security are interwoven.

Euro-Atlantic integrations and regional integration processes are underway.

UN, OSCE, EU and NATO are key elements of European security.

UN, OSCE, EU and NATO are key elements of European security.



The new role of NATO and the EU integration processes with other international and regional organisations significantly contribute to the stabilisation of peace and security.

NATO’s PfP Programme is especially important – it enables political, security and defence cooperation of countries that are not yet NATO or EU members.

Focus is on prevention and security enforcement within the regional environment.

Security in SE Europe is additionally jeopardised by inherited instability and hardships of transition.

Terrorism, ethnic and religious intolerance, organised and transnational crime, all impede the creation of best solutions.

Yet, the Security of the State Union of Serbia and Montenegro has significantly improved when compared to the last decade of the XX century.

The possibility of direct military threat or aggression against Serbia and Montenegro has been reduced – all neighbours aspire to same civilisation values and integration objectives.

Serbia and Montenegro does not consider any state as hostile.
