MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Trying to drag Montenegro quickly into NATO is a signal that the alliance is not prepared to work together on the creation of a system of European security, Russian Envoy to NATO Alexander Grushko said Tuesday.
“This shows that the rapid dragging of Montenegro into NATO against the procedures of the alliance itself was a geopolitical project in order to demonstrate that the open door policy is still alive and that it’s needed,” Grushko said during a live video uplink out of Brussels.
“I think that this is a demonstration that NATO will continue to lean regardless on its own policy of NATO centralism. In a word, this is yet another signal that NATO is unprepared to jointly work on setting up a new system of security in Europe,” Grushko said.
