European Security and Transatlantic Relations
The collapse of Soviet Union brought the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact, a military alliance, and allowed deeper political integration on the continent. Former members of the Soviet bloc, including the Visegrad countries, started the application process for EU and NATO membership. However, it was first the Balkan wars and later the 9/11 attacks that unveiled new threats to the global security and showed that Europe needs to improve its ability in addressing them. Visegrad countries, now full EU and NATO members, participate in the effort to tackle the security threats.
