This document updates the security strategy of the Czech Republic and takes into account the developments of the past eight years. It shares the principles of its 2003 predecessor, but develops them to reflect the new context. For the first time it conceives the security issue as a whole. First, it defines the country’s values and interests, and then describes the current security environment, including trends and threats and their possible impact on national interests. In the second part, it sets out the approaches to be employed in countering those threats — using all possible national, bilateral and multilateral tools.
