Ukrinform
If Ukraine submits bid for membership in NATO, the Alliance will have to consider it, in accordance with existing procedures. Nobody can block this process.

NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said this while delivering his speech at the University of Warsaw on Tuesday, an Ukrinform correspondent reports from Poland.

"Nobody has the right to interfere in or to veto this process. It is a very important principle. Each country, including Ukraine, has the sovereign right to choose its own path ... If Ukraine submits bid, it will be considered," Stoltenberg said.
