Summary/Abstract: The article argues that the current security model was shaped in a long period. It is shownthat the system was shaped by the solutions applied after the II WW, what embraces global and regionalsolutions. Until the end of the Cold War the applied solutions were assigned to two oppositeBlocs: Western and Eastern. After 1989, which is considered to be the symbolic turning point andend of the Cold War, part of the states from the former Eastern Bloc, after introducing market anddemocratic reforms have joined NATO and the EU. This also included three states created after thedissolution of the former SU. The article states also that security in Europe is challenged by attemptto reconstruct the area of Russian influence. At the same time it states that this process is not limitedto voluntary access of the former republics of SU but also includes annexation of the territories ofsovereign Ukraine. The article illustrates that the contemporary security system is characterized bystrong asymmetry of applied solutions. NATO applies liberal, cooperative solutions, while Russiauses solutions build upon force and military potential.
