The state leadership is convinced that Macedonia would receive an invitation for membership in NATO in spring. Foreign Minister Antonio Milososki said yesterday, "there are no announcements from Brussels that Macedonia's integration into NATO could be postponed as a result of the events related to Kosovo. We are certain that Macedonia and the other two members of the Adriatic Group, Croatia and Albania, will celebrate the invitation for NATO at next year's NATO Summit."

Macedonian Ambassador to NATO Nano Ruzin told that outside factors, like Kosovo, could not influence the process for NATO enlargement.
