According to reliable information of one of them, for joining the Alliance would have voted 47% of people power, against 43 per cent. According to others, in the same step are 44% of the city's powers, against 40%. Answering the question of whether the nation a member of NATO, responded positively 64% and 66% respectively. The number of adherents of accession of Montenegro to NATO for the first time exceeded the number of opponents.
With all this, Western politicians are sending to the government of the Republic of unambiguous signals - specifically their power was selected to become a fresh member of NATO. "There are important prerequisites to Montenegro became a member of the Alliance", - said the Prime Minister of England David Cameron. "The invitation of Montenegro will certainly do," assured the aspirant of Slovakia to NATO Tomas Valasek. The Secretary General of the Alliance Jens Stoltenberg has approved that the final decision will be made in December.
Management of Montenegro declared NATO membership as a strategic goal in 2010. "Montenegro is the only Mentovskie link in the NATO chain of States, all of our neighbors in the Adriatic - NATO members, and other ways to ensure security we have. Besides all this, NATO membership is the surest guarantee for investors, from which we largely depend" - quoted by "Kommersant" adept of government power.
The commander of NATO forces in Europe General Philip Breedlove said that the military draft Montenegro is fully prepared to join the Union, a decision regarding admission will be only political.
