SFIDAT E SISTEMIT TË SIGURISË SË SHTETEVE TË VOGLA.

Security problems through time have become the area of responsibility for the most important institutions of countries and their experts. The world, in any case, was never safe for small countries because history has shown that it is very easy for major powers to manipulate with these countries, both economically as well as militarily. While a small country is not able to afford a conflict on its own, the only way for it remains the diplomatic struggle to avoid or reduce the risk of conflict. The only way to avoid uncertainty, which for a small country in international relations is much greater than for a large country, is their association in international institutions. For small countries of the Western Balkans there is only one strategic choice and that is Euro-Atlantic integration. In general, the security project and joint defense was the brainchild of major European countries, but the objective to be positioned in the international system was the main motive that forced nearly all small countries to join. The difference between countries that have been able to survive and those who have perished is that some small countries have survived due to their engagements, which led them towards the desired objective, that of military defense. Those who want peace must prepare for war. Preventive military measures of aggression constitute the most difficult problem for security matters, the independence of small and medium countries such as Israel, Switzerland, Singapore, Kosovo, Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Montenegro, etc., and the decision to utilize force if necessary is equally responsible, important as avoiding aggressors.
