Abstract: In recent years, following significant changes in the security environment, a number of initiatives have been chained, both strategic and operational, aimed at extending European Security and Defense Policy to a level where the European Union can ensure effective and efficient security and defense for its citizens, and to their immediate surroundings. At the same time, cooperation between the European Union and the North Atlantic Alliance has deepened in this context. Following the above, the author, using to the goal and the topic appropriate scientific methods in the framework of interdisciplinary scientific research, deals with the issue of European Common Security and Defence Policy, pointing out the significant progress that has been made in recent years in strengthening European security and defence. As a result, after years of words and promises from political representations much more than deeds, there is finally a time when there is a common consensus and the building of a higher level of European resilience, either in close cooperation with NATO or alone at EU level. In conclusion, the author emphasizes that in the context of the conflict in Ukraine, there is essentially no other way for the Union.
