Približavanje baltičkih zemalja euroatlantskim integracijama
THE BALTIC STATES: ON THE THRESHOLD OF EURO-ATLANTIC INTEGRATIONS

Summary/Abstract: Due to their strategic position, the Baltic peoples throughout their history have always been a kind of a buffer-zone, which has to a large extent affected their development. In the new European environment, the Baltic region is today somewhat marginalized, but because of its proximity to Russia it has an important strategic position. They want to join NATO and the EU because the Baltic states in this see a guarantee of their security and stability. This may also be an opportunity for solving the very delicate relationship with Russia, still an important actor influencing the Baltic states.
