Description

The background of this study is related to the strategic orientation of Kosovo, the Euro-Atlantic, respectively the union and integration in political, economic and military organization of North Atlantic. A research question that will be asked, and that we will try to answer in this research is: "What are the opportunities and what are the challenges that Kosovo may have until full membership in NATO?".

A challenge that still remains a concern of societies in transition, especially the Kosovar which is and traumatized in general, taking into the consideration the past of these fragile territories, after the wars in the Balkans, remains the main challenge of creating the public institutions, capacities within institutions, making an important contribution to the best possible advancement within the democratic system of government, to its role in the good in general and to the security sector in all its dimensions, in particular to fulfill this mission.

Kosovo non-governmental and governmental institutions have worked to initiate cooperation and integration with NATO, trying to establish official communication between Kosovo institutions and NATO, to start the process of Kosovo's integration into the Alliance. Already, Kosovo has begun to participate in humanitarian missions in various countries around the world, invited by NATO itself. Kosovo was also part of the exercise, "Defender Europe - 2021", invited specially by the United States.

The methodology used in this research is mainly related to the descriptive but also analytical method, the current factual situation, and what awaits us as a country in the future towards NATO.

The data obtained from official institutions, whether those of Kosovo or NATO, but also scientific research, will serve us to analyze and reach final conclusions or findings. Normally, these findings will give us an answer to the question posed above.
