SARADNJA SJEVERNOATLANTSKOG SAVEZA I BOSNE I HERCEGOVINE
COOPERATION BETWEEN NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANISATION AND BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA

Summary/Abstract: Reason for writing and research problem(s): Bosnia and Herzegovina, a country in transition, seeks to achieve its strategic goals, namely membership of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union (EU). The method of accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has a specific, clearly defined procedure. Accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is technically through participation in the Political-Military Partnership for Peace program, the Planning and Review Process, the Individual Partnership Program, the Individual Partnership Action Plan, the Membership Action Plan and the Concept of Operational Capabilities and Evaluation and Feedback. Defense reform in Bosnia and Herzegovina is based on the principle of collective security. The process of defense reform in Bosnia and Herzegovina involves the creation of professional Armed Forces, which requires organizational, material, procedural and other compliance to be used jointly with NATO and NATO / PfP forces in different conditions to carry out missions and tasks. Aims of the paper (scientific and/or social): The aim of the paper is to get acquainted with the complementary mechanisms by which the cooperation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and Bosnia and Herzegovina takes place. Methodology/Design: The study analyzed the cooperation of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the advantages of joining Bosnia and Herzegovina to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Given that this is a theoretical study, a review of the available literature on cooperation between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and Bosnia and Herzegovina has been made through the use of general scientific methods, primarily descriptive method, to fulfill basic methodological approaches. In considering the available literature on cooperation between the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and Bosnia and Herzegovina, no specific data collection methods were used. Research/Paper limitation: The study outlines the advantages of Bosnia and Herzegovina entry into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and the positive views of Bosnia and Herzegovina entry into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. The limitations of this research are related to the lack of negative views on Bosnia and Herzegovina entry into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. For the sake of further research, it is also useful to cite the negative views of Bosnia and Herzegovina entry into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Bosnia and Herzegovina would have military, political, economic, social but also numerous security implications by joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, such as: achieving certain but not absolute guarantees of collective defense; increased ability to influence regional and security issues; increased exposure to security risks arising from international security engagement; demanding operations that will include complex challenges and a range of negative impacts on the development of the defense system of Bosnia and Herzegovina. However, these limitations do not diminish the results of the research and pose a challenge for further research, which would certainly be complemented by all the negative views of Bosnia and Herzegovina entry into the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
