Bulgaria: Russian Chairwoman Against the Expansion of NATO in Europe

Russia doesn't support the expansion of NATO in Europe, said Mrs.Valentina Ivanovna Matviyenko, a Russian politician serving as the Senator from Saint Petersburg and Chairwoman of the Federation Council since 2011. The Russian Chairwoman arrived in Bosnia on Monday. This was the first official visit of a high-ranking Russian representative since the beginning of the century, reminds Russian media.

"The turbulence on the world stage does not go away from the Balkans." Matviyenko said.

During her speach at the Sarajevo's parliament, she said Montenegro's accession to NATO has become "practically against the will of half of its citizens".

"This step only leads to further destabilization of the region and undermines the European security system," the Russian chairwoman said.

According to her, Balkan ambitions to join the alliance are "a dangerous experiment."
