Poland's president has reiterated he supports Georgia's aspirations of NATO membership and closer ties with the European Union.Lech Kaczynski made the remarks at a press conference during a two-day official visit to Prague.
Responding to a question by RFE/RL's Azerbaijani Service, Kaczynski said he had done his best for Tbilisi in the run-up to NATO's 2008 Bucharest summit.
At that meeting, the alliance pledged that Georgia and Ukraine would one day join, but did not put them on an immediate path to membership.
"It is known that I'm a supporter of these Georgian ambitions," Kaczynski said. "Let's take its Euro-Atlantic ambitions first. Why am I in favor? Because, despite all its weaknesses, NATO is a guarantor and an exporter of relative stability. It's a region that for a lot of reasons needs to be stabilized."
