As it was reported by Welt NATO will be expaned for the first time after 2009 and Montenegro will be accepted in the Alliance as the 29th member, it was reported by MINA agency from the web portal Vijesti.

The decision will be announced by ministers of foreign affairs of NATO at the meeting in Brussels at the beginning of December, it was confirmed to the magazine by the high ranked diplomats in NATO.

„NATO will invite Montenegro on 1st of December to join the Alliance”, it was unanimously stated from those circles.

The invitation was criticized by Russia as it was expected.

As Welt finds out Moscow sent several letters to NATO member countries with warnings not to accept Montenegro because that might worsen their relations with Russia.

Ministers of foreign affairs of NATO will also announce at the meeting that acceptance of Montenegro doesn’t mean automatical acceptance for other future members.

„The declaration will clearly define that acceptance of Montenegro does not lead to acceptance of other countries. Every membership is a case for itself”, said one NATO diplomat.

It was French government who especially insisted on this formulation. Expansion “mustn’t be done too soon and too much”, said the French diplomats.
