Sažetak
More than six and a half decades after the Pleven Plan, which aimed to create the European Defense Community (EDU), the EU member states still need to formulate and elaborate a bold vision for the EU’s defense integration consistent with current concerns about the security environment and austerity. Political talk about the “EU army” is a double-edged sword. There is no unifying vision for a leap towards a greater EU role in security and defense. The political debate flared up among by EU member states when the topic is the development of military programme under the EU security community. Security changes and challenges for the European security could force states to rethink about restructuring of national armies that might be transformed and interrelated into European army and put under the unified EU’s command. Out of 28 EU member states, with one supposed to leave the EU rather soon (the United Kingdom), 23 member states have signed the Permanent Structured Cooperation Agreement (PeSCo), thereby fulfilling the respective provisions of the Lisbon Treaty. PeSCo might be the right step in that direction.
