USA: Serbia can join NATO

Over time, Serbia has the opportunity to join NATO, RIA Novosti reports.

Such a statement was made today in Washington, US Deputy Secretary of State for Europe and Eurasia Daniel Fried. “Today, the process continues and Albania, Croatia, Macedonia, Georgia, Ukraine carry out reforms and ultimately strive for membership in NATO and possible membership in the EU. Other countries, such as Montenegro, Bosnia and Serbia, can also be elected this path, ”Fried emphasized at a hearing in the US American Congress.

“European countries are still striving to join NATO, strengthen their democracy, economics and their armed forces through reforms and through joint work with NATO,” Fried noted.

During the November summit in 2006 in Riga, an agreement was reached that NATO should issue new invitations to the appropriate candidates for membership in the alliance at the next summit in Bucharest in 2008.
