'Unpredictability' is NATO's Greatest Challenge Stoltenberg Says

Jela De Franceschi

   VOA Serbian service's Jela de Franceschi spoke with NATO Secretary
   General Jens Stoltenberg about the shifting global alliances in the
   current political environment.

   Q. Both sides of the Atlantic are undergoing political upheaval,
   unprecedented in a sense. We have impeachment proceedings in the U.S.,
   the third time in modern American history, and we have Brexit in
   Europe, which has been a prolonged process. Does that affect larger
   security issues at all?

   Stoltenberg: I think what we have seen is that despite issues like
   these over decades on both sides of the Atlantic that NATO has proven
   that while we come to different opinions about Brexit and different
   opinions about the issues in the (impeachment) hearings in the
   Congress, we will continue to be a strong and adaptable alliance. That
   has happened so many times before. These important issues will not
   undermine NATO.
