Summary/Abstract: The ongoing debate about possible Serbian membership in NATO has been followed by impassioned statements which in this case are omnipresent compared to the much needed expert analysis which will point to the merits and drawbacks of such integration. This article aims at showing the impact that the possible Serbian accession to NATO would have on the home affairs in this country. Briefly we shall put forth a reminder of how Serbia, i.e. the then Yugoslavia, has come all the way from an important NATO ally to the first country against which the alliance has used military power. However, the issue this article will place an emphasis on is the system of values which will have to be adopted in Serbia if it were to join NATO, as well as what the consequences to its internal stability, democratization and reform of the security sector would be.
