Youtube: Press Point with NATO and Albania

I thought I'd share the official NATO's official Youtube channel - http://www.youtube.com/user/NATOCOMMUNITY?feature=watch
The channel frequently posts new videos almost daily with NATO news - ranging from short 1-2 minute videos and longer videos as well. You can also subscribe and new posted videos will pop up on your news feed so you don't have to go searching for it on the web.

I watched this joint press point with NATO's Secretary General Rasmussen and Albania's President Nishani. Sometimes it is difficult to find the important information in these kinds of formal press conferences but watching it in video-form seems easier to understand than reading the script. (11 minute video)

Albania has been a supporter of NATO years before its membership in 2009. In this video, we see that President Nishani is concerned with current events in Kosovo and the Western Balkans region in general. Albania, as a young member of the alliance, continues to show its enthusiasm in its membership.

Rasmussen: "Albania is a valuable ally. You are committed to our common defense and our operations and you are giving important contributions to our missions in Afghanistan and Kosovo".

  1. I'm glad that Albania, a young member of NATO, is being honored. Do you think NATO's approval of Albania's actions will help Albania gain membership into the European Union in the near future?
