Partnership for Peace & Euro-Atlantic Integration Csaba Kőrösi Deputy State Secretary Ministry of Foreign Affairs Hungary Szeged, February 6, 2002
Security Issues To Be Dealt With- SEE • Secessions - historic justice or security? • National agendas or integrated approach? • Zero sum game to prevail? • Relatively weak internal conflict resolution mechanism, structures, safety nets. • Relatively disadvantageous economic situation • Relatively high presence of organised crime + parallel srtuctures
Security Issues To Be Dealt With- SEE (cont.) • Borders open for trafficking. And for cross-border co-operation? • Too much weapons, too little control • IC’s role: Correct? Mistaken? • Responsibility for building the countries? • Very encouraging signs. • FRY: very good potentials
Interest of Hungary • FRY reintegrated to European and regional structures • general conditions for stability improved • key conditions for prosperity at place • same level of security for the region • jump-start for FRY • Lessons and experiences: do not repeat our mistakes
Partnership for Peace • Security of the Euro-Atlantic area is non divisible (“grey zones”: undesirable) • Common values, common actions • Joint responsibility for peace and stability • Transparency of plans, procedures, actions • direct link to NATO (EAPC: copy intra Alliance co-operation) • inclusiveness, self-differentiation
Questions to be answered at the outset • Future status of the country. (Neutral / non aligned? Allied? Or?) • Purpose of PfP / EAPC membership: serve your future • programmes to be built accordingly • clear vision - better chance to be assisted • decision made? Structure the steps.
Requirements, conditions? • Basic commitments to values • similarity to UN, OSCE, CE, regional arrangements • supposed to serve modernisation, reforms, stability, capabilities • effects the entire state & society • no silver bullet solutions! May be long way.
Early Hungarian Dilemmas • Neutrality? NATO membership? Third way? • To give up part of sovereignty? • Where are the enemies? • Too expensive to rebuild defence structures? • Is it an offer instead of membership? • Does it help if things go wrong in the neighbourhood?
The Aim of the Seminar • What PfP / EAPC is good for? (Still not an Aspirin!) • Help preparing decisions on the agenda of YU • Learn form You - good for NATO, HU • To see what neighbours can use • Strengthen mutual confidence • Tasks ahead: to find solutions for open questions
Any Questions ? • Thank you!
