“Look, we have now been clear, as have previous administrations of each events, that NATO has an open door,” Value responded. “And we’re dedicated to the open-door coverage that was put ahead in Bucharest, that NATO ought to stay an choice to aspirants when they’re prepared and in a position to meet the commitments which are spelled out, in addition to the obligations of membership; which means particularly that they’re in a position and prepared to contribute to safety within the Euro-Atlantic space.”
