Attending the NATO Summit to be held in early April, Romania will support the continuation of the enlargement of the Alliance, said President Traian Basescu on Thursday at the end of the meeting of the Supreme Council for the Country's Defence (CSAT).
The Head of State made it clear that Romania stuck to its position to Ukraine in the process meant to make it come nearer to the North Atlantic Alliance.
"Romania will support the continuation of the NATO enlargement and, from this point of view, we would like a solution to be found to the problem of Macedonia, which got an invitation on condition it should come to an understanding with Greece as regards the name of the country.
We hope that this summit will see that they have found a solution for Macedonia to start the process of integration with the NATO structures," said the President.
He added that, from a political point of view, Romania would insist on consolidating the relation between NATO and the Russian Federation "as an element meant to guarantee peace and security" for all the states. "Last but not least we shall try to develop the themes connected to the NATO presence in the Black Sea region and in the Western Balkans as elements of security for the states in the region.
At the same time we shall stick to the position made known in Bucharest, which was also mentioned in the documents of the summit referring to the NATO responsibilities in point of energy security," concluded the Head of State.
Traian Basescu said that the high-level meeting of the Alliance to be held in April would sanction the reintegration of France's military forces in the NATO structures.
