Chapter 31
Conflict prevention approach
Montenegro supports all EU measures in the area of conflict prevention;
Montenegro is fully aware of the necessity for a comprehensive approach to conflict prevention, which would encompass short-term and long-term development cooperation and aid as well as mediation and dialogue in addition to the conventional diplomatic, political and military instruments.
Montenegro has no unresolved issues and disputes with its neighbors and is continuously fostering an intensive political dialogue with all the countries in the region. Therefore, it is ready to offer and provide its assistance in settling disputes among neighbors through mediation and dialogue;
In accordance with the relevant EU legislation, Montenegro externally acts through cooperation and effective partnership both bilaterally and multilaterally, participates in CSDP operations and is fully aligned with EU measures.

Let us try to envisage an idea of the relative utility of the different EU instruments depending on in what type of context they are in, but also the profile of the EU in comparison with a military organisation such as NATO.
As you can see the dotted line represents the CSDP over the conflict spectrum.
The red line describes now the utility of military is increasing the closer to a « hard conflict » we get and the reverse with civilian assets. As you can see NATO has a much more significant role to play in a more war type situation.
The interesting part comes in the synergies we potentially can achieve with a comprehensive approach but it also shows the difference between NATO and the EU CSDP. Of course there are no such things as the truth in a slide like this it only represents one idea of the relative utility.
