On Wednesday the President of the Republic Zoran Milanović and his delegation participated in a meeting of the North Atlantic Council at which the heads of state and government of member states of the Alliance discussed key strategic issues and decisions that are critical for the very future of NATO. A wide range of decisions were adopted at the NATO Summit including the establishment of NATO mechanisms of security assistance and training for Ukraine as well as a political commitment to long-term security and military assistance for Ukraine.

All these decisions were included in the Summit Declaration in Washington, which was also accepted on Wednesday at the Summit.
