Abstract: All Czech strategic security documents since the end of the Cold War have been based on the argument that the risk of any direct military aggression against the territory of the Czech Republic is virtually nil. The 2015 Security Strategy responded to the changes of international security environment, especially to the Russian aggressive policy in Ukraine, hybrid war waged by Russia against the West, escalation of conflict in Syria against the background of the Arab Spring and the refugee crisis directly related to it. The 2015 Strategy continuously develops the ties to the transatlantic security partnership (NATO) and building up the security dimension of the European integration process. However, it is very likely that the Czech Republic can be expected to become a passive actor, meeting its allies' expectations only to an extent that is strictly necessary.
