Summary/Abstract: Security has become the key word nowadays. Without the guarantee of security there is no social or economic development of countries or organisations. Without it no subject will be able to face ongoing challenges. Even though the world is evolving dynamically, it is still essential to have real power and the ability to deter potential enemies. Satisfactory or even excellent economic relations will not replace military power, strong defense industries or military pacts. Therefore, the countries of the Old Continent, without exceptions, must finally realise the fact that decrease in military expanses and treating the USA as a guarantee of European security must come to an end. It is high time Europe took greater responsibility for itself and the world. The potential to achieve this goal is big enough.
