Sažetak
Small states have a few policy options to choose from in foreign affairs realm. One of them is building a strategic partnership with a big power. There is nothing unethical or unusual in such asymmetric power-relationship. The problem, however, may arise if a small state allows for or almost self-willingly agrees to an extreme power- disbalance which strongly reduces its capacity for any form of independent decision-making. To which degree have Croatia, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina been building their strategic partnerships with selected big powers is discussed in this paper.
