RELATIONS BETWEEN CSTO AND REPUBLIC OF SERBIA AND THE PERSPECTIVE OF THE ORGANISATION ITSELF

Abstract

The Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) is an important regional security organization of military-political character whose activities extend to the postSoviet space. As such, the organization seeks to cooperate with other actors, who may be other regional security organizations, such as the SCO and NATO, and with state actors, who may or may not be members of the organization itself (through observer status). The paper looks at the relationship that the CSTO has with the Republic of Serbia, that is, the cooperation between the organization and our state, discusses the potential advantages and disadvantages of full membership, and looks at the further perspective of the organization itself.
