Executive Vice President of the Atlantic Council of the United States, Damon Wilson, said on April 18 that, before becoming a NATO member, Montenegro has to resolve the issue of Russia's domination in its territory.
Wilson told the April 18 issue of the Podgorica daily Vijesti that Montenegro is a country of harmonious multi-ethnic relations, not burdened by conflicts of the region and the state which, of all countries of the former Yugoslavia, has the best relations with its neighbors, but indicated that this is not enough for an invitation into NATO.
Proof must be provided of commitment to the fight against organized crime, corruption, nepotism. There are issues of domination of some other countries in the territory of Montenegro, primarily Russia. All this must be resolved before the invitation for NATO membership, Wilson said.
The delegation of the Atlantic Council of the U.S. is paying a visit to Montenegro, in order to assess the country's results so far in the fulfilling of conditions for NATO membership.
