Book Description
Immediately after the revolutions of 1989-1990, Central Europeans announced their desire to "return to Europe." In policy terms this meant that Central Europeans wanted to join the European Union (EU) and NATO. NATO's initial response was to extend its "hand of friendship" at the London Summit in July 1990 and to establish the North Atlantic Cooperation Council (NACC) at the Rome Summit in November 1991. As 1992 opened, not only did the former Soviet Union (and Yugoslavia) disintegrate, but after the June 1992 Czech and Slovak Federated Republic (CSFR) elections, Czech and Slovak leaders decided to conclude a "Velvet Divorce" on 1 January 1993. Despite the fact that the majority of Czechs and Slovaks in both regions opposed separation, no referendum was convened. Since 1993, both CSFR successor states-the Czech Republic and Slovakia-have continued to pursue EU and NATO membership. After the January 1994 Brussels Summit announced Partnership For Peace (PFP), Slovakia became one of the more active of the 27 Partners in the program. In September 1995 Slovakia was briefed by NATO on The Study on NATO Enlargement. When the December 1995 North Atlantic Council (NAC) session invited those Partners interested in NATO membership to engage in enhanced 16+1 dialogues, Slovakia responded affirmatively-participating in three rounds of discussions during 1996-concluding that it wanted to join NATO.

Book Description
This paper will describe the international and European situation, which occurred after the Cold War, and the Slovak position in the newly created Europe. The political, economic, and military orientation will be discussed concerning this ambitious, youngest and smallest country in Central Europe. Furthermore this paper will have as a central theme why Slovakia needs to become a member of the Western Alliance structures such as NATO and the European Union. It will analyze what Slovak is doing to become a member of the Western Alliance structures, and what will happen if Slovakia is not granted membership into NATO and the European Union.

Book Description
The Slovak Republic is a democratic state based on the rule of law with interest in peaceful and lasting cooperation with all nations. With a view to the degree of its readiness, becoming a member of the Alliance in the shortest time possible is the strategic foreign and security policy priority of Slovakia, as it has been expressed in the Program Declaration of the Government. NATO membership fully corresponds with the national interest of Slovakia. This orientation stems from a thorough evaluation of political developments in Europe after the end of the Cold War. The last decade of this century has shown clearly that NATO still is, and will remain in the future, the most important pillar of the European Security Architecture. Sharing with the Alliance common values such as democracy, respect for human and civil rights, market economy, rule of law, security, and freedom, the Slovak Republic considers NATO membership as the only option and the only way of accomplishing her foreign security goals. The principles, upon which the Alliance is based on and ready to defend, have lost neither their value nor their validity. To live in peace with all the nations, to defend peace, democracy, and freedom, to respect the rule of law, these are the very principles and values that bring NATO and the Slovak Republic together.
