Armitage is taking part in the summit of the Vilnius Group (V-10) in
Bucharest. The group is an organisation of countries aspiring to
join NATO. Croatia has been a member since last May.
MAP is a programme initiated in April 1999. It assists countries to
implement political and defence system reforms necessary for
meeting NATO standards.
My joining the MAP, Croatia's status would be equalised to that of
other members of the Vilnius Group.
