Summary/Abstract: The Western Balkans region is an area with cyclical security crises and constant security challenges. Evidence for this claim can be found by observing the historical context of this region. The twentieth century was full of conflicts of greater or lesser proportions. Therefore, it is necessary to determine the causes of instability, as well as possible answers to them. The causes are twofold. They are contained in intra-regional and international security challenges. The security of the Western Balkans is complicated by political turmoil in the countries of the region and complex interstate relations. The challenges of regional cooperation observed in this way represent an element for mutual understanding and cooperation between the countries of the Western Balkans, especially in the field of security, as well as a condition for easier mastering of tasks from the negotiating chapters in the EU enlargement policy.
