FM Rupel Optimistic Ahead of the Prague Summit

Ljubljana, 9 November - "It is not very likely that Slovenia would be left out of the group of countries that will get [NATO] membership invitations," Slovenian Foreign Minister Dimitrij Rupel said in an interview for STA, optimistic about the success of Slovenia's NATO candidacy a mere two weeks before the Prague summit. Virtually everything has been done on the political area; it is now necessary to "keep fit" and implement what has been planned, he said.
