NATO: promoting peace through partnership
NATO's engagement in Kosovo has demonstrated that partnership has become the driving element of Euro-Atlantic security. Sharing NATO's appreciation that the fundamental values underpinning a newly emerging Europe were at stake, NATO's EAPC/PfP partners gave strong political and material support to the Alliance to uphold these values, and have subsequently also made an essential contribution to the NATO-led peacekeeping operation KFOR.
In gathering this support, NATO has been able to build upon several years of steadily intensifying cooperation with its partners in various formats. The challenge now is to exploit the momentum generated by Kosovo to further deepen and really cement these partnership relations. Key areas of attention are the further operationalisation of PfP, Partner defence reform, the process of NATO enlargement, enhanced political consultation and cooperation in the EAPC, and building a genuine, crisis-resistant NATO-Russia partnership.
