Sažetak
In contrast to the farmer republics of Yugoslavia that fought wars to reach its sovereignty, Montenegro achieved its independence democratically. This was a longer process, but it demonstrated that even in the traditionally unstable Balkans, the most sensitive issues can be resolved peacefully based on the concepts and principles of Western democracy. It is this specific feature of Montenegro that requires a special approach to finding adequate modalities to participate in the Partnership for Peace Program, taking into account the theory and practice of international relations.
It is particularly important to use thorough analysis to draw attention to Montenegro's specific circumstances, problems, needs, opportunities and priorities as it prepares to enter the Program. By following key mechanisms, the Euro-Atlantic Partnership Council and Individual Partner Relations may choose appropriate and adequate forms of cooperation and common activities with both Allies and Partners as well.
Based on researches and the status of political, economic and security parameters described herein, efficient solutions related to common activities and Allies and Partners' direct assistance are possible to be found so that Montenegro is able to actively participate and act within the Partnership for Peace Program.
Montenegro's geographic, demographic, economic and other resources afford it the opportunity to contribute to the Partnership for Peace. Based on the facts at hand, viable forms of cooperation and engagement can be determined in order to engage the potential of Allies and Partners in common activities. Also worthy of note are the priorities required for the Partnership process to start easily and in order to presume quality work and contribution with respect to common security problems resolving.
