Collective defence—NATO must reaffirm its readiness to perform major joint operations. This is critical for the implementation of COPs, the contingency operational planning that we are doing now.
Of course our interest is to have NATO air policing long term. You know that in the beginning, when we became members of NATO, the mission was established until 2014. Today everybody agrees that we need this mission. NATO needs this mission. NAC has already made the decision that it has to be a long-term solution with permanent periodic reviews of such missions, so we would like to keep going and be mentioned in the documents of this summit.
I already mentioned missile defence. I will not go into the details because we already discussed.
As for capabilities, the ministers of defence will discuss capabilities during the meeting in Chicago, focusing on collective defence; support for joint forces; more exercises, including in our region, as I already mentioned with the Article 5 scenario; Steadfast Jazz, next year's military exercises.
All these issues relating to a strong NATO are in our interest in Chicago. I think it will be in our interest to keep this alliance as strong as possible for a long time. It's the fundamental interest of our state.
