Bissel: Important to submit ANP

FENA Internet

SARAJEVO, June 24 (FENA) - NATO membership brings the most effective defense in an affordable way, and only NATO members enjoy the benefits of collective defense. In this regard, security is the foundation of prosperity, Brigadier General Marti Bissel said in an interview for today's “Oslobođenje”.

Asked how far BiH is from membership in NATO, especially considering the obstruction of sending the first annual national program, she said that the path to membership depends on many factors and is different for each country.

“NATO Headquarters Sarajevo has been providing assistance to BiH since 2004, which means that we already have an excellent partnership relationship. BiH's contribution to our common security is well known, and BiH has shown a clear commitment to regional dialogue and cooperation, including the participation in our mission of Resolute Support in Afghanistan and its contribution to the fight against ISIS. All this is important for the progress of BiH,” Bissel said.

She recalled that NATO foreign ministers recently agreed to accept the submission of the first Annual National Program (ANP) of BiH.

Asked if the foreign influence would prevent BiH from joining NATO when it failed with Montenegro and North Macedonia, Bissel said that every country is always facing choices and there will put different options on the table.

“It can be for military, economic or political reasons. For decades, Bosnia and Herzegovina has chosen the path of Euro-Atlantic integration. It is the direction by which people of this country have decided to go and we will support them in that choice. The citizens of Bosnia and Herzegovina know very well which path offers the best possible future for them and their children. We look forward to helping them on that road,” Bissel told “Oslobođenje”.
