The German government was a strong supporter of the enlargement of [[NATO]].

Germany was one of the first nations to recognize [[Croatia]] and [[Slovenia]] as independent nations, rejecting the concept of [[Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia|Yugoslavia]] as the only legitimate political order in the Balkans (unlike other European powers, who first proposed a pro-[[Belgrade]] policy). This is why [[Serb]] authorities sometimes referred to "new German imperialism" as one of the main reasons for Yugoslavia's collapse.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Crawford |first=Beverly |date=1996 |title=Explaining Defection from International Cooperation: Germany's Unilateral Recognition of Croatia |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/25053979 |journal=World Politics |volume=48 |issue=4 |pages=482–521|doi=10.1353/wp.1996.0015 |jstor=25053979 }}</ref> German troops participate in the multinational efforts to bring "peace and stability" to the [[Balkans]].

; Central Europe
[[Weimar triangle]] (France, Germany and Poland); Germany continues to be active economically in the states of Central Europe, and to actively support the development of democratic institutions. In the 2000s, Germany has been arguably the centerpiece of the European Union (though the importance of France cannot be overlooked in this connection).
