Disussing the NATO enlragement process, President Traian Basescu declared for TVR, that, for the first time in history, Romania wants to be surrounded by all other allied countries.
According to the Romanian leader, the three major issues on the Bucharest Summit agenda are NATO enlargement, Afghanistan and the Western Balkans and the threat defense system of the 21st century.
President Traian Basescu said that, alongside inviting Croatia, Albania and Macedonia and including Georgia and Ukraine in MAP, “a global solution for the region” is required.
In the president’s point of view, Bosnia - Hertzegovina, Montenegro and Serbia must “upgrade” their relationships with the Alliance at Bucharest.
“We add our support for Bosnia – Hertzegovina to pursue the transition from the Partnership for Peace to the intensified dialogue, and Montenegro to directly pursue the intensified dialogue with NATO. We continue to support Serbia, which did not ask and did not want to participate at the Bucharest Summit, to be awarded the status of a country in ongoing intensified dialogue with NATO, that might be put into practice if Serbia requires it”, Basescu said.
