摘要:After five years of NATO membership the Baltic States still carry on with regional
military cooperation projects. This is a unique phenomenon in Europe. Even the Nordic
or Benelux states have not reached the level of integration and interdependence as the
Baltic States have. Nevertheless, it is also true that after their accession to NATO the dy-
namics of Baltic military cooperation has slowed down. Joint projects very often undergo
stagnation or are closed. Reasons for that range from chaotic foreign military assistance in
the early 90s to poor management of cooperation projects. This article aims to provide an
overview and to assess the main regional military cooperation initiatives as well as to out-
line prospects of their future development.
