NATO starts Montenegro air patrols - Soundbites
Natochannel
June 5, 2018 | 2:58
t’s been one year since Montenegro joined NATO. Today (5 June 2018), Italy and Greece started patrolling its skies as part of NATO’s air policing mission. As the country does not have its own fighter planes, it has asked Allies to help secure its airspace. NATO air policing missions protect the skies of those Allies that do not have their own air force. There are currently several of these air policing missions across Europe.
Montenegro contributes to the Alliance’s shared security by providing troops to NATO’s training mission in Afghanistan and financial support to the Afghan security forces. In a sign of Allied solidarity, Italy and Greece will now help protect Montenegrin airspace. Italian and Greek fighter aircraft will continue to be based in their home countries, taking to the skies as necessary.
