The policy of military neutrality was a former resort of decision makers to avoid giving clear answers and offering consistent ideas related to the security policy of Serbia. Thus, it served as a form in which the content was optionally filled out by ruling elites, from deepened and institutionalized cooperation with NATO to military cooperation not only with Russia, but also with the United States. The content of the just completed electoral campaign showed the absence of a minimum consensus on what is the security policy of Serbia and what is the content of its military neutrality. The 2009 National Security Strategy has failed to define these. The ongoing process of drafting a new Strategy, about which is little known in the public, should result in a document which will spell out what are the values protected by Serbia, by what means and in which partnerships. This process should be transparent and allow a wide participation of different actors from the field of security.
