Abstract
Despite the strong criticism against the NATO enlargement policy, we can conclude that the enlargement has not caused any significant damage to the Alliance. NATO’s internal cohesion did not suffer a great loss, as seeking a consensus between members is just as difficult as it was in the Cold War period. The dividing lines between members on controversial issues are not drawn on the grounds of the length of membership. Moreover, no new iron curtains have been dropped, as the “new” member states further support the NATO “open door” policy. Last but not least, almost all NATO members, not only “the newcomers”, should increase their military expenditures. The only exception is an obvious deterioration of relations with Russia, which occurred after Russia had launched the war with Georgia in 2008, and especially when it annexed Crimea and started a “hybrid war” against Ukraine in 2014.
