Today, NATO demonstrates that its doors remain open, Jens Stoltenberg said. According to the document, the Republic of Macedonia will become a NATO member when the agreement resolving the naming dispute between FYROM and Greece enters into force and this country is renamed into the Republic of North Macedonia.
