SECURITY SYSTEMS REFORM CHALLENGES: CRUCIAL INSTRUMENT OF THE NATIONAL SECURITY POLICY

In 2005 Slovakia adopted the Security Strategy of the Slovak Republic, a base for identification and implementation of the national security policy. It was two years after the Brussels European Council adopted the European Security Strategy and three years after the adoption of the National Security Strategy of the United States of America. The Security strategy of the Slovak Republic is the principal document in which the National Council of the Slovak Republic declares the concern to respect an international law, territorial integrity and political independence of all countries, fulfill commitments and participate in maintaining the security and defence of allies and Euro Atlantic partners. Security strategy of the Slovak Republic represents the base document which outlines the major national security concerns. [PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
