Abstract
In the attempt to gap the differences, which were brought about by the cold war bipolarism, a space has opened up for the promotion of an idea of partnership and cooperation between recent rivals. The American initiative Partnership far Peace not only represents a way to overcome those differences, but it is also a project of providing assistance to the countries in transition, so that they could achieve the interoperability with NATO as well as reach standards of the Western democracies. This all aims at the promotion of the idea of Euro-Atlantic cooperation. Furthermore, the partnership is the key word and the prerequisite in long-term plans to continue to expand the Alliance towards East. ln this context, the Partnership for Peace has a significant and indispensable position on that path.
