Hungary welcomes Montenegro’s NATO accession as it contributes to the stability of the Western Balkan region, said Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Peter Szijjarto Thursday prior to the meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers in Brussels.
Mr Szijjarto said that Montenegro's signature on the agreement on joining the military organization would “significantly contributes to the stability of the Western Balkan region”. At his press conference, the Minister stressed that the Euro-Atlantic community hasn’t had to face as many simultaneous security threats and challenges since the end of the Cold War, and the best reaction to these is the expansion of NATO.
Isolation would be a strategic mistake, because “the more of us there are, the stronger we are”, he added.
