Enlarged NATO - Greater European Security Zone

Polish defense minister Jerzy Szmajdzinski has called the accession of seven new NATO members a triumph of the Alliance’s open door policy. He underscored that greater membership is equal to enlarging the European security zone. As of today, three Baltic states – Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia as well as Bulgaria, Slovakia, Slovenia and Romania have been formally accepted into NATO structures. The official ceremony will take place on April 2nd at the Alliance’s Brussels headquarters. Szmajdzinski recalled Poland has continuously been an advocate of NATO enlargement. He reiterated the Polish stand that the new group of central European members will not pose any threat to Russian security interests.
