"Riga will be a summit for the 26 allies. But it will also be a summit where we, I'm sure, Heads of State and Government will want to signal the importance which they attach to the partnership, to cooperation, to engagement, whether it's with Russia, whether it's with Ukraine, whether it is with the countries which are actively seeking the membership of the Alliance, or whether it's those countries which are seeking to join our Partnership for Peace, such as Serbia and Bosnia and Montenegro. "

Assistant Secretary General for Defence Policy and Planning, NATO
