Euro-Atlantism is a reality we must take into account

[Kshasty]

Europe is unlikely to accept the pact; it is satisfied with the situation in the sphere of security characterized by Western military and political domination. It is based on the Euro-Atlantic alliance, which the United States and most European countries think proved effective during the Cold War.

Euro-Atlantism remains a key factor of consolidation in the changed conditions, even though its influence has weakened, and an attractive feature for a number of countries that have not yet joined the alliance.

The reasons for this are, first, the inertia of political mentality noted for Cold War residues, and second, a natural desire to resist jointly new major challenges and threats to European and global stability and peace.
