- Oh the north atlantic treaty organization was established by 12 countries in april
- 1949 creating an alliance stretching from north america across the Atlantic to Europe NATO's founding treaty was signed by heads of state and government
- in Washington article 10 of the Washington treaty stated that NATO's door would remain open to European democracies willing and able to assume
- the responsibilities and obligations of membership by 2009 NATO's membership had increased to 28 allies through 6 rounds of enlargement
- during the Cold War strategic interests were at the forefront of decision making about enlargement Greece and Turkey joined the alliance in 1952 the
- strategic location of the two countries was important in particular turkey controlled the Soviet Union's only access to the Mediterranean another
- priority was to align Greece with the West the country had just come out of a civil war and was still deeply divided between conservatives and communists
- West Germany became a member in 1955 after several years of heavy discussion among the Allies the country was pivotal to allied interests due to its
- geographical location as well as its industrial power and large workforce yet memories of the first and second world wars were still fresh in the minds of
- Europeans the newly democratic Spain join NATO in 1982 the country's geographical position
- was a valuable asset to the Alliance the fall of the berlin wall in november 1989 signaled the end of the Cold War
- and the end of the division of Europe the pace of change over the next few years was remarkable Germany was reunified bringing the territory of the
- former East Germany into the alliance the Warsaw Pact dissolved and the Soviet Union broke up Allied leaders responded to the dramatic changes underway by
- extending a hand of friendship to their former Warsaw Pact adversaries inviting them to develop relations with NATO this led to the creation of a forum for
- dialogue and the launch of practical bilateral cooperation some of NATO's new Central and Eastern European partners soon declared an
- interest in joining the alliance this was an area of Europe which had been fought over by the great powers for centuries carved up integrated into
- different countries they wanted to escape their past they wanted a future of security in which their national independence would be guaranteed more or
- less he definitely and they saw one organization one organization only that could really guarantee their independence and that was NATO
- enlargement was the subject of lively debate in the 1990s the Allies conducted a study to look into the merits of admitting new members the 1995 study on
- enlargement set down three conditions which if fulfilled would guarantee that enlargement would be a good thing for NATO and a good thing for Europe the
- first condition obviously was that the countries that wanted to join had to be ready to join they had to have completed their democratic transformation I had to
- make up their quarrels with their neighbors solve their minority disputes the second condition was that NATO had to know that in absorbing new members
- obviously it could continue to function as a serious alliance the third condition was that enlargement was not just about extending security guarantees
- to individual countries but the effect would be to add stability for the whole of Europe at the Madrid summit in 1997 Poland Hungary and the Czech Republic or
- invited to start preparations to join the alliance I was both political and military task in its first phase so we were addressing the issues put forward
- by the intensified dialogue which was based that are made to study on a large mend after medicine it after we were invited to join NATO there was another
- important stage so-called accession talks and at that time we had a possibility to talk more deeply about such important issues like a solidarity
- burden-sharing consensus how NATO works I mean what was what makes NATO strong and it was an excellent opportunity for us not only to understand the server
- things but also to commit our country to this principle to make us a future and strong Caroline the Czech Republic Hungary and Poland became members of the
- Alliance in March 1999 a month later at the Washington summit NATO launched the membership action plan often referred to as the map its aim is to help countries
- prepare for possible membership Estonia is one of a number of countries that has participated in the map the advantage of that plan was that it was reviewed every
- year by the very experienced native stuff which was also capable of giving us pointers on what else should be done to prepare ourselves obviously the final
- decision was a political one but this allowed us to make our case I think very largely thanks to map we are today members of the North Atlantic Alliance
- seven countries bulgaria estonia latvia lithuania romania slovakia and slovenia became members of NATO in march two thousand and four in the second round of
- post Cold War enlargement three other countries had also been participating in the membership action plan however at that time albania Croatia and the former
- yugoslav republic of macedonia were not yet considered to be ready to join the alliance eventually albania and croatia were invited to start accession talks in
- april two thousand and eight at the bucharest summit thank you they formally became members a year later in April 2009
- most likely this will not be the last round of enlargement the former yugoslav republic of macedonia has been assured that it will be invited to join nato as
- soon as a solution to the issue of the country's name has been reached with Greece two other Balkan countries Bosnia and Herzegovina and Montenegro were
- invited at the bucharest summit to start intensified dialogues on their membership aspirations and related reforms NATO has been helping to build
- peace and security in the Balkans since the mid-1990s and the Allies see the closer integration of Western Balkan countries as essential to ensuring
- long-term stability in this region at Bucharest Allied leaders also agreed that Georgia and Ukraine which were
- already engaged in intensified dialogues with NATO will one day become members membership of the Alliance can be very demanding the Allies have to be sure
- that any new member not only shares allowed values but is also ready to contribute to NATO's missions what is the criteria that we apply in order to
- invite a new member around this table the criterion is performance good performance in all membership related aspects the decision is taken as we say
- by consensus what does it mean it means that all nations must feel comfortable with a new member around this table and its performance and of course let me add
- that any accession to NATO and thus the enlargement of NATO does not pose any threat to any other nation in Europe or beyond
- nato's ongoing enlargement process is aimed at promoting stability and cooperation but building a Europe whole and free united in peace and founded on
- the common values of democracy individual liberty and the rule of law you
