Summary:The harmonization of political and defense goals is an important phase of the complex process of harmonizing the politics and the defense system. The political and military leaders, as the actors of this harmonization, may often, by nature of their jobs, have conflicting views in the process of establishing the security and defense goals. The reason for this lies in the fact that they themselves are holders of certain motives and interests. Events of the near and further history point to the fact that the slightest mismatch of political and defense goals can lead to unforeseeable consequences for the country and society. This paper discusses possible ways of harmonizing the political and defense goals, and identifies problems that may be met in this process, as well as their possible solutions.
