| Nowadays, stability should be understood as a kind process of social and political evolution with contradictory elements, both cooperative and confrontational, open-ended as to its results and with the goal of strengthening and making more durable the cooperative elements. Stability can only be achieved as the result of the mutual relationship between the creation of internal structures and internal developments; the latter being of a decisive importance.434
Unfortunately, at the dusk of the post-Cold War era, the Western democracies proved not be ready to cope with the challenges of the new security environment. The immediate consequence of this unpreparedness of the West was the emergence of sub-regional conflicts, especially in the geographical area of the Balkan. The stances adopted by the West as a whole were quite ambiguous ones and they were almost useless (at least in the outset of the crisis) due to the lack of coordination (and sometimes a sort strange competition) between various international organizations and bodies such as UN, NATO and EU. The end of the Cold War period and emergence of the new risks and threats challenging security led to the widening of the concept. Consequently, one could talk about a multidimensional security concept covering various sectors: military security, political security, economic security, societal security, and environmental security. The evolution of strategy in Europe now requires a redefinition of the role of international organizations and institutions, including their involvement in conflict prevention and regional crisis management. A comprehensive approach to security and stability encompassing their entire aspects — political, military, economic, social, environmental etc. — has to be developed. This approach should lead to an integrated Europe with dividing lines; the enlargement processes of the EU and the NATO are decisive factors in this respect. As far as the Western Balkans countries are concerned, the last decade has witnessed the continuing transition from authoritarian governments and centrally planned economies to pluralist democracies and free markets. At the moment, all countries in the region have democratically elected governments. The further success of the democratic and free market reforms is crucial for the future. Although significant progress towards peace and stability has been made, challenges still exist and no single state or international organization can deal with these challenges by itself. A concentrated effort towards security and stability is needed. Consequently, regional and international cooperation and also the ongoing integration process are indispensable to address challenges. 434 Cf.

Nowadays stability should be understood as a kind of process, i.e. a social and political evolution with contradictory elements, both cooperative and confrontational, open-ended as to its results and with the goal of strengthening and making more durable the cooperative elements. Stability can only be achieved as the result of the mutual relationship between the creation of internal structures and internal developments7, the latter being of decisive importance.
[page 9] Unfortunately, at the dawn of the new post-Cold War era, the Western democracies proved not to be ready to cope with the challenges of the new security environment. And the immediate consequence of this unpreparedness of the West was the emergence of sub-regional conflicts, especially in the geographical space of the Socialist Federative Republic of Yugoslavia (by that time). The stances adopted by the West as whole were quite ambiguous ones and they were almost useless (at least in the outset of the crisis) due to the lack of coordination (and sometimes a sort strange competition) between various international organizations and bodies, e.g. UN, NATO and the EU8.

| [An ap-]propriate identification of the challenges to security in the region, supported by well-defined principles of cooperation, is needed to make this endeavour successful. Although the financial efforts made by the European Union in the process of stabilizing the Western Balkans have been impressive, the EU has not yet got a reliable political-military structure in order to effectively manage crisis situations. That is why the decision of the Union to have autonomous decision capability, backed up by military capabilities for action in the field of the Petersburg tasks (as defined in the Amsterdam Treaty), needs to be further developed. | [page 18]
