Sažetak
The US-Adriatic Charter, an initiative in the spirit of the 1998 U.S.-Baltic
Charter, was proposed jointly by the Presidents of Albania, Croatia, and Macedonia
to President Bush at the NATO Prague Summit in November 2002. It was
signed by four ministers of foreign affairs in Tirana on 2 May 2003. The Charter
as a diplomatic project had two objectives – to secure the open door NATO policy
and to provide the framework for the cooperation and mutual support of candidate
countries. It was successful on both accounts. The Charter partners made strong
commitments in the areas such as democratic reforms and the creation of the conditions
for NATO membership. An additional effect of the Charter has been the
very palpable progress in the relationships of the countries of South East Europe
by improving the security conditions in the region. The US-Adriatic Charter of
Partnership is a successful example of cooperation among small states with common
interests.
