Germany is committed to enlargement of NATO, where Macedonia also belongs, German Chancellor Angela Merkel stressed in the German Bundestag on Thursday. In the address given before the holding of the NATO Summit, which will be hosted by both France and Germany, Merkel stressed that she opposes the use of a veto, the Macedonian-language program of Deutsche Welle reported.
"I hope that Macedonia will be able to enter NATO in the near future and that this will not fail due to the problem with the name. I stress this because enlargement of NATO is important and should not be relegated to a position of secondary importance," Merkel emphasized.
She noted that the German people know well that the unrestricted right to accession is a great good.
"We must not allow some to impose their own rules through veto and old-fashioned views," the German chancellor concluded.
