Our policy is European and Euro-Atlantic integration. There is no substitute for NATO.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
NATO has a special relationship with countries far away from Europe: Australia, Japan, South Korea. They have joint projects and programmes which are being implemented without these countries becoming members of NATO.
NATO's essentially run by the United States.
NATO remains the cornerstone of Atlantic security.
For years, we have heard warnings that Europe needs to contribute more to NATO's capability.
I don't want a Europe that is just a free-trade area attached to NATO. Even less do I want a Europe where it's everyone against everyone, and social and fiscal dumping replaces solidarity.
It is possible there will be much less support for NATO because there is a lot of identification of the United States with NATO.
NATO has been a thread throughout my life.
And I think to be in NATO for the countries of our region, it means more guarantees for us, it means more responsibility for our common security, but it means fulfillment of all standards of civilized world, like protection of human rights and democratic mechanisms.
We have a firm commitment to NATO, we are a part of NATO. We have a firm commitment to Europe. We are a part of Europe.
We've walked away from our treaty obligations in Ukraine, putting NATO at risk.
