lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, NATO’s contribution to the safety and security of Europe has been immeasurable, when their principles of collective security secured the West against Soviet oppression and nuclear war. I have, and always will, stand against the EU’s attempts to piggyback onto these achievements. It is NATO that secured peace on this continent, not the European Union. However, what honest friend to NATO would I be if I did not offer criticism when I believed it necessary. I have misgivings over the accession of Montenegro to the alliance. Europe is in the middle of its most insecure time since Glasnost. Whilst we must not bow down to pressure from Putin, we must also not needlessly provoke further potential for conflict. Realistically, what can Montenegro contribute to the alliance in military terms? The great strength of NATO is that it is a military alliance, and, unlike the European Union, not a political union. But it would seem in this case that political posturing has trumped military sense."@en1
