The so far chairman of the NATO Military Committee, general Petr Pavel, says that the Alliance and Montenegro have been cooperating closely for years, and that our country had contributed to NATO efforts in many ways.
“Montenegro is the brand new member of the alliance but we have to remember that it has been part of the membership Action plan since 2009. In the months which brought the accession of Montenegro to the NATO, the cooperation was intensified at both political and military level, in order to ensure the accession of Montenegro to the NATO. Your political and military representatives are constantly giving national instructions and collaborating with the Alliance in order to make progress in the tasks given by the heads of states and ministers. Montenegro has ordered the troupes in the NATO missions in Afghanistan and in Kosovo, which we welcome”, said Pavel.
When we are considering what the nations can offer to the Alliance, we must focus on the quality measures.
“We have to see how the nations meet the agreed capability objectives. How the countries participate in missions, operations and other activities, at training sessions and exercises? How they contribute to the NATO command structure and structure of NATO forces? All these factors should be taken into consideration. We’re stronger together and every nation, either biog or small, brings experience which helps the Alliance in its basic mission”, says Pavel.
Montenegrin sky is protected by NATO members: Italy and Greece. That’s very important for Montenegro.
