Abstract

The article examines the influence of external factors on political transformations in the countries of the Western Balkan. It’s emphasized the decisive role of the EU and NATO. The Euro-Atlantic foreign policy direction remains a priority. The EU and NATO have offered a number of initiatives for the countries of the region that have contributed to political, security and socio-economic reforms. The Russian Federation actively cooperates with the countries of the WBS’s in the economic and cultural spheres, but do not use all potential.
