[00:03.77]22. Address by NATO Secretary General, Lord Robertson at the Conference of Heads of State and Government
[00:12.52]But I just want to say on this historic day that I do not regret a single word, not one, 
[00:20.90]because I think that those words of criticism 
[00:23.50]but also of encouragement from me and from the other countries around this table have made today possible 
[00:33.56]and have made the strong and unanimous decision that it was. 
[00:35.15]As I kept reminding all of you, I didn't have a vote today, 
[00:39.66]I simply wielded the gavel at the end of the process, and gathered the voices. 
[00:46.28]But I know how much was done in order to make it happen and I realize the sacrifices that were made, 
[00:53.96]and if you think I have finished with being a nuisance, then you are wrong. 
[00:58.42]You've got your invitation today but the accession process and the ratification process is still to come. 
[01:06.32]And that is why the determination with which all of you have spoken of your desire to strengthen NATO 
[01:13.37]and to pledge yourself to continue the reforms and modernization on 
[01:19.85]which you are embarked is so important to be heard round the table. 
[01:23.00]All NATO countries will welcome that message and will commit themselves along with me to helping you in that continuing process. 
[01:32.87]And that, after all, is what NATO is all about: collective security and defence, 
[01:40.21]a common commitment to dealing with today's threats and producing joint solutions to military and political challenges as well. 
[01:47.90]So we look forward to a successful accession process, 
[01:51.65]and eventually welcoming you around this table as full members of this great Alliance. 
[01:57.57]Thank you very much.
