Key messages:

Nuclear threats go beyond the borders of states. Nuclear energy is a valid choice for future carbon low economies if operated transparently and responsibly. All nuclear developers should respect neighborhood concerns and the highest safety and security standards established by international community.
NATO adaptation to changing security environment should not only result in greater capability and capacity, but also ensure that NATO is ready to react timely and decisively in face of a threat to the security of its allies.
