NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen visited Montenegro and then Bosnia Herzegovina, two countries that have applied to join NATO's Membership Action Plan (MAP).

In both countries, he stressed NATO's desire to see both enter the Alliance, and the European Union, as the best recipe for lasting security and stability.

He discussed with leaders in both countries the reforms both countries have to pursue, and they looked forward to decisions on the Member Action Plan (MAP) that will be taken at the Foreign Minister's meeting on December 3rd and 4th.
