Romania will maintain the objectives laid out at the 2008 NATO summit held in Bucharest, Basescu said.
 
He said Romanian diplomats made “formidable” efforts over the past two weeks and carried out “intensive talks” with heads of state so that Romania listed its objectives on the final document of the military alliance’s summit to be held on April 4 and April 5.
 
Basescu said will support Montenegro and Bosnia Herzegovina in their endeavor to access the alliance and will lobby for NATO’s political neutrality toward Kosovo.
 
“We don’t want a political commitment, only a military one toward Kosovo,” Basescu mentioned.
 
NATO should also mention the Black Sea as an area of interest and security, as it did at its summit in Bucharest, Basescu said.
 
The Romanian head of state is accompanied at the NATO summit by the ministers of foreign affairs and defense, as well as by the chief of the General Staff.
