Speech by NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen at the European Policy Centre, Brussels

Ladies and Gentlemen, good morning.

Hans Martens, thank you for the kind introduction. I am now half way through my mandate as Secretary General - - and many things have happened during this time. NATO is as busy as ever. And that is what I am going to touch upon today.

Recent security challenges: (Un)traditional risks and challenges

When we think and talk about the security in the Western Balkans, it’s difficult to find a piece of history without potential risks for the individual and collective security of its citizens and their material goods. Therefore, the thesis, whether these risks are traditional or not and how these risks are challenged, is intentional and objective.
