NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen has posted a new video on his blog:

"All Balkan countries should join NATO"

"I am very encouraged by the recent developments in the Balkans. With regard to Bosnia and Herzegovina, I believe we have reached a turning point".

"In Kosovo progress is continuing. As a result KFOR is gradually reducing its presence. I hope we will be able to downsize further this year".

"My dream will come true if - one day - we could see all countries in the Balkans as members of NATO. They belong to the Euro-Atlantic Community. I hope to see their flags represented here among all other NATO nations".
