All NATO member states, including neighbors, should support Macedonia in being extended an invitation to join NATO. This is the message that Macedonian Foreign Minister Nikola Poposki has been voicing at his meetings in Washington so that the issue of Macedonia’s membership of NATO is raised at the summit of the Alliance in Chicago, Dnevnik reports.

Minister Poposki, who attended Thursday the Prayer Breakfast hosted by US President Barack Obama, told Dnevnik that the US officials he met had no dilemma that Macedonia should be admitted to NATO as soon as possible.

“Macedonia has met all conditions to close this chapter and become a NATO member state. It would be logical for us to have the support of all member states, including our neighbors, considering that in the past enlargements of NATO the biggest support came from neighbors,” Poposki said.
