Summary/Abstract: To explain how applicable the concept of "comprehensive security" is in Kosovo, at first, I will try to analyze the term of security, and development of international relations in relation to the phenomenon of "Security". Initially the term “security” is to be elaborated, in theoretical terms, the impact "national security" had during the Cold War, and the development of the international relations system, especially after "the fall of the Berlin Wall,” and the fall of communism. In the broadest sense, the post- modern security is characterized by many threats, such as terrorism, failing states, climate change etc. The elements of comprehensive security will be part of the analysis of developments in Kosovo after the war and briefly transformation of the security sector after independence.
