NATO chief: Russia interference boosts Montenegro chances
None
Any attempt by Russia to interfere in Montenegro's bid to join NATO would only boost the country's chances of membership. The military alliance's secretary general said Friday
"The aspiration of Montenegro to become a member of NATO is something that is up to Montenegro and NATO to decide," Jens Stoltenberg said during a visit to Serbia.
"No one else has the right to intervene or to interfere with that decision," Stoltenberg added. "If any effect, Russian interference more likely will reinforce our interest to invite Montenegro to become a full member of the alliance."
