Stability Pact for Southeast Europe

The states of Southeast Europe and the wider area of influence

The Stability Pact for South-East Europe was an attempt by the international community to pool and coordinate efforts for peace in South-East Europe . After the Treaty of Dayton in 1995 and after the end of NATO intervention in Serbia (then “Federal Republic of Yugoslavia”) in 1999, the pact formed for the first time an instrument of the international community that supports and coordinates a comprehensive, active approach to the problems of the region should. It was designed to be evolutionary and thus strongly dependent on the interest of its participants in achieving the goals. Stabilization and Association Agreements served as effective means of the Stability Pact .

The pact was passed in Cologne on June 10, 1999 and confirmed in Sarajevo on July 30, 1999 by the heads of state and government of the participating states. On February 27, 2008, the Stability Pact was replaced by the Regional Cooperation Council for Southeast Europe (SEECP) .
