Abstract
Before looking East, as suggested by our panel theme, I would like to recall what the challenges are for Europe as a whole. The very challenge of today and tomorrow is the extension of stability in and for Europe. To this end we need a comprehensive and political and conceptual approach focusing on two major elements. These are: intensified integration and improved cooperation. The future security structure in Europe cannot be created from scratch. Rather, we must bring together the existing institutions and processes, especially the NATO, EU, WEU, and OSCE, and we must succeed in managing their interaction and complimentary approach.
