NATO Review - Words of history

Dává nám naději, že naše země už nikdy nepodlehne ani nebude obětována jakémukoli agresorovi, a zároveň vyjadřuje jasné odhodlání spoluodpovídat za svobodu národů, lidská práva, demokratické hodnoty a mír na našem kontinentě.

Slovenski premier Rop: Slovenija je danes varnejša kot včeraj Slovenski premier Rop je poudaril, da se Slovenija zaveda odgovornosti in je pripravljena biti zanesljiva partnerica drugih članic zavezništva.

Hkrati s predajo listin je NATO namreč začel varovati slovenski zračni prostor in Slovenija je dobila tudi garancije za zaščito pred napadi in grožnjami.
