- Performing exercises in Montenegro was planned for over a year, and it required a serious organization. I would like to point out one more thing that is important for NATO. Every country has the right to choose their own security arrangements. The sovereign right of each country is to decide how to ensure their safety - said Rose Gotemiler, Deputy Secretary General of NATO.

- For NATO those decisions and exercises are just fine. This is not a situation where we have to smooth some accounts. Serbia is a free and sovereign to choose security arrangements that suit it. On the other hand, I am glad that Serbia has decided to participate in the exercise in Montenegro. This is a very important exercise for all countries that participate - said Rose.
