Bulgaria Foreign Affairs Minister, Nikolay Mladenov, has stated that the construction of a missile shield that covers all European countries would restore the confidence of European citizens in NATO.
Mladenov said that the missile defense shield would show the citizens of Europe that NATO cares about them and not just about “operations over the other side of the world.”
During his speech in Brussels Mladenov developed the thesis that the talks on the new Strategic Concept of NATO should not focus only on Article 5 of the NATO Treaty, but also on Article 4 which deals with political consultations between the parties to prevent threats.
NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen who opened the Brussels conference said a NATO-wide missile defense system would show collective will to defend against a growing threat.
He added that Iran has said it possesses missiles with a range that would put NATO members Turkey, Greece, Romania and Bulgaria within reach.
Meanwhile, former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, who is leading a group of experts drafting NATO's new mission statement, said that despite the gap in defense spending the Europeans have done their share in missions such as Afghanistan.
