Summary/Abstract: During the Cold War period, the role and purpose of the NATO was clearly defined by existence of the threat posed by the Soviet Union and the Warszawa Pact. History has showed that NATO’s superiority in technology, in comparison to the Warsaw Pact’s member countries, played a key role in West’s victory in the Cold War period. Upon termination of the Cold War, a unique opportunity for building of new security architecture in the entire Euro-Atlantic region arose. The purpose of this new architecture is assuring the stability and security of all Euro-Atlantic’s nations. The purpose of this paper is to provide outlines of the NATO’s security explicitness as a wider concept encompassing the political, economic, and the defensive component as well.
