A lot of arguments support the view that the so-called Republic of Kosovo represents a model of a state that is based on violence, injustice, imposition and the absence of any idea of compromise. The national arrogance and aggressive ideas of Greater Albania, as well as the megalomaniac, violent and undemocratic character of the actions of the interim authorities in Prishtina, represent a real danger for further dissolution of the Balkans, which is why this area is perceived as an area of unfinished conflicts. From the point of view of accomplishing national interests, Kosovo and Metohija represents the greatest security challenge for the Republic of Serbia. The danger of further collapsing and diminishing the Serbian ethnic space, especially of changing the original Serbian character of the southern Serbian province and threatening the identity heritage of the Serbian nation represent particularly dangerous trends in the conflictual character of relations between Serbs and Albanians. The importance of Kosovo and Metohija and the severity and complexity of the problem that the southern Serbian province faces emphasize the necessity of defining a long-term strategy for its solution. With its content, it has to be a clear expression of conceptual readiness for solving the complex Kosovo-Metohija problem. At the basis of such a strategy, which is the starting hypothesis of this paper, is the necessity of redefining the relationship between the Serbian and Albanian nation and stopping the inertia of centuries-old mistrust and animosity between them. The stated position, which has a strategic character, is the cornerstone of the security stabilization and reintegration of Kosovo and Metohija. The main methodological procedures of the research process in this paper are comparative historical method and the method of document content analysisthe case study method, comparative analysis method and historical method.

The practice of neutral states represents an important expression of modern strategic culture, as a specific attitude towards military force and the use of military force, especially when it comes to Europe. Although the international politics seemed to be directed towards the circumstances in which such a collective understanding of reality was difficult to maintain, neutrality, with numerous challenges, continuously proves to be a very dynamic and adaptable concept. The emergence of internationalism after the First World War, especially the intensified integration trends after the end of the Cold War, strengthened the process of creating the basis for a new anti-war security vision of Europe. At the core of such efforts was the promotion of cooperation and dialogue and the suppression of the importance of military force in relations between European countries, which commenced the process of establishing the strategic culture of the European Union as an authentic post-national model. The new strategic culture with its specific view on the nature of relations between European countries, which is completely different from the traditionally understood contents of such concept, suppressed the importance of national security perceptions, as well as the effectiveness of military force in international politics, promoting the idea of security indivisibility. Undoubtedly, the strong integration momentum and the transnational type of threats have influenced the redefinition of neutrality practice, so the approach of neutral states to European and Euro-Atlantic integration was considered a natural course of events. Thus, today, neutrality has been radically modified in some aspects, and it is no longer significantly determined by, among the other things, isolation, but by emphasized international engagement. The abandonment or significant redefinition of the main postulates of neutrality has prompted serious challenges to the importance of neutrality, the authenticity and scope of the strategic culture of neutral states. That is why the value contents of neutrality have begun to be considered debatable, so that for some the concept is outdated, while others believe that it can still contribute to strengthening peace and stability in the world. However, although radically modified, neutrality has not disappeared, and it still represents a concept that is an important segment of international politics. The revival of realpolitik in international relations in recent years, as well as the challenges of the multipolar concept of international relations, represent important incentives for the legitimacy of the choice of neutrality and the affirmation of a strategic culture that favors the value postulates of neutrality.

Neutralnost je najčešće tretirana kao diskutabilan projekat. Reč je o konceptu koji je praćen brojnim kontradikcijama i dilemama i otvorenim osporavanjima, počev od toga šta koncept danas znači, da li je kredibilan, realan, moguć i moralno utemeljen koncept, posebno da li ga kontekst globalnih procesa diskvalifikuje kao koncept u budućnosti.
Teorijsko polazište teksta jeste da neutralnost, iako radikalno modifikovana, nije iščezla već i dalje predstavlja koncept koji je važan segment međunarodne politike. Ponovno oživljavanje realpolitike u međunarodnim odnosima poslednjih godina, kao i izazovi multipolarnog koncepta međunarodnih odnosa predstavljaju važne podsticaje legitimnosti izbora neutralnosti i afirmacije strateške kulture koja favorizuje vrednosne postulate neutralnosti. Praksa evropskih neutralnih država, bez obzira što su neke od njih značajno redefinisale noseće postulate neutralnosti, posebno činjenica da su to države koje ulaze u red najuspešnijih savremenih društava, ide u prilog održivosti takvog koncepta.
U tom smislu u tekstu je prezentovana argumentacija da nastojanje Republike Srbije da praktikuje vojnu neutralnost kao dugoročno bezbednosno opredeljenje predstavlja izbor strateškog karaktera. Geopolitički, istorijski i brojni drugi razlozi snažno potvrđuju karakter takve odluke. Posebno važan aspekt takvog izbora predstavljaju i noseći vrednosni sadržaji strateške kulture srpskog naroda koji snažno korespondiraju sa idejom vojne neutralnosti. Strateška kultura srpskog naroda koja svoje polazište ima u Kosovskom zavetu i koja je stvarana u uslovima izrazito nenaklonjene istorije, predstavlja autentičan okvir utemeljenja jednog naročitog odnosa prema strateškim nacionalnim pitanjima u budućnosti. Visoko vrednovan odnos prema slobodi, nezavisnosti, spremnost na žrtvu za više ciljeve, kao i poseban društveni status vojske, predstavljaju suštinske postulate srpske strateške kulture i kao takvi mogu da predstavljaju važan program daljeg unapređenja koncepta vojne neutralnosti.

Globalization as a social concept based on the principle of universalism announced the beginning of a new era and a model of international society, which would mean a sort of end of historical cycles. Optimistic faith in progress was one of the driving ideas of this, one of the most popular concepts of the global society. Proponents of globalization have claimed that the triumph of the West in the Cold War competition confirmed the superiority of the liberal model and represented a break with the real political perception of international politics. In this way, as argued, the conditions were created for the societies around the world to start their own reconstruction, creating a global culture and universalization of democratic governance, permanently overcoming war and establishing the lasting peace. The nature and dynamics of relationships in international politics unambiguously confirmed that the social and political reality has not developed as announced by the proponents of globalization, at the beginning of the last decade of the twentieth century. The modern world fell into a time of confusion, uncertainty and insecurity, growing into a global risk society. Strong rapprochement of nations, political communities and cultures and intensifying their interdependence encouraged more intense disagreement, the emergence of new national models, radicalizing definitions of identity to the most devastating forms. Globalization has not transformed the world, and the concept of global governance of the world proved to be a failed attempt, manifesting a variety of system dysfunctions. At the same time, the more pronounced interdependence of contemporary societies, based on the technological achievements of the postindustrial world, has expanded the range of issues that require the global approach. ; Globalizacija kao društveni koncept koji se temelji na principu univerzalizma najavila je početak novog vremena i začetak jednog modela međunarodnog društva koji će značiti svojevrstan kraj istorijskih ciklusa. Optimistička vera u progres bila je jedna od nosećih ideja tog koncepta, pa je globalizacija postala jedan od najpopularnijih koncepata globalnog društva. Međutim, globalizacija se pokazala kao koncept koji je u najvećoj meri izneverio najavljivana obećanja. Karakter i dinamika odnosa u savremenoj međunarodnoj politici, nedvosmisleno potvrđuju da globalizacija 'ne radi', da jenjava njena snaga i da je sve manje kredibilan koncept uređenja savremenog svetskog društva. Globalni finansijski kolaps koji je pogodio svet 2008. godine predstavlja najuverljiviji pokazatelj da je veći deo globalizacije diskreditovan, a vera u ujedinjeno čovečanstvo je sve manje poželjan koncept. Svet sa globalizacijom nije postao jedan od najboljih od svih mogućih svetova, kako je najavljivano. Mnoštvo sveta našlo se na socijalnom, ekonomskom i političkom bespuću. Pokazalo se da su upravo procesi uspostavljanja svetskog društva koje bi se zasnivalo na liberalnim i demokratskim kvalitetima uveliko uticali na radikalnu desocijalizaciju prostora širom savremenog sveta i dramatičan porast nebezbednosti. Snažne manjkavosti globalnog svetskog poretka intenzivirali su brojne političke, socijalne i verske dezintegrativne procese, pa se ispostavilo da je bila pogrešna najava da je sa globalizacijom otpočela era međunarodnog približavanja. Istovremeno, sve izraženija međuzavisnost savremenih društava, zasnovana na ostvarenjima tehnoloških dometa postindustrijskog društva, proširili su spektar pitanja koja podrazumevaju globalni pristup.

The current manner of evaluating the state and capabilities of the Ministry of Defense and the Serbian Armed Forces is gradually losing its relevance and partially deviates from the contemporary trends, which is why the paper singles out a special research problem, aimed at overcoming the traditional understanding of performance management, i.e. gradual introduction of the performance management process into the defense system. Taking into consideration the complexity of the mentioned research problem and the current level of the development of the defense system of the Republic of Serbia, the subject of the research is based on the possibility of considering the implementation of the performance management process of non-profit organizations within the Ministry of Defense and the Serbian Armed Forces. In this regard, the paper starts from the hypothetical view that certain elements of the performance management model of non-profit organizations can be successfully implemented within the defense system. The objective of this paper is to point out the possibility of developing similar solutions in the Ministry of Defense and the Serbian Armed Forces through the presentation of a strategic map and the dashboard of the performance management model of non-profit organizations, with a brief overview of the defense systems of some foreign countries. By the implementation of the method of content analysis, focused on the comparative analysis of the considered models, the research results have confirmed the set hypothetical framework. The paper concludes that there are the objective possibilities for the implementation of the performance management process of non-profit organizations within the Ministry of Defense and the Serbian Armed Forces.
