NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg reviewed Georgia’s pathway to NATO membership at the Brussels Forum.

Jens Stoltenberg expects “the NATO allies today, recommit, confirm the decisions we have taken before, not least, the Bucharest Summit where we stated clearly that Georgia will become a member but we did not provide any dates, and we will not provide any dates today either.”

NATO Secretary General stressed that “the NATO’s door is open. “We demonstrated that over the last couple of years with Montenegro and North Macedonia joining,” he said.

“Our focus is on the reform. Our focus is to continue to support Georgia. It’s only for the aspirant country, Georgia and 30 allies to decide on the enlargement of our alliance.”
