BRUSSELS (Reuters) - The head of NATO called on China and Russia on Thursday to help fund Afghan security after 2014, as the alliance tries to rally contributions from a wider range of sources before most foreign combat troops pull out of Afghanistan.

100% of Serbs should be against joining this bankrupt (morally and monetarily)organization.

UNBELIEVABLE!!! What a pathetic group, they are building a missle shield around Russia and yet ask her to fund their projects.

Nato membership means so many negatives for Serbia. Increased military expenditure to refit the military with NATO equipment and meeting minimum funding levels in the middle of economic downturn is stupid. Sending your sons, brothers, husbands and fathers off to die in far off wars so that arms companies that have bought governments have demand for their products is stupid. NATO is an alliance whose purpose became obsolete in 1991 and whose mission has become contorted into assisting in the maintenance of the American hegemony around the world. I live in a country that is in NATO and I think it's tragic what NATO has done. Then again, Serbs know first hand the cruelty of NATO and its depleted uranium diplomacy.

I see the map on your picture is slightly out of date. Just FYI.

No Adrian, it is fully up to date. It's the UN map of Serbia as per UN Res 1244 not Hash's or the NATO/US imperialists.

Anyone who wants NATO membership is not a Serb FULLSTOP.

It is interesting that an Albanian would admit that the NATO war against Serbia was not Legitimate, as everyone knows, but he is nevertheless in favour of a Greater Albania.

It is a definite improvement on those Albanians who want a Greater Albania, and who will speak Lies about Slobodan Milosevic and Slander Serbia.

However, I would advise him to be careful, because his fellow Albanians do not share his Democratic Views, and they need the Lies to justify their attempt to steal Serbian land.

The Albanians know that if the Confess to this, then it would help Serbia receive Compensation from taking NATO to Court, or an out of court settlement so that Serbia will have the Money to fully reintegrate Kosovo back to Serbia.

Only 70% ?

They should ask their strongest and most enthusiastic member to provide them strategic battle-donkeys for Afghanistan campaign.

I don't think that's really accurate...Maybe you forgot to ask in Kosovo. The result would be 61-63%. As it is part of Serbia, sure...

I don't think they forgot to ask in Kosovo, they are just well awear that KAlbs don't have a habit to answer questions asked by Serbs.
----------------------
Interesting, 50% of people who believe Serbia should join NATO, don't trust/like that organisation. Probably they believe that if you can't confront evil, you should try to make use of it.

As the survey was presented, this result was described as "expected" but "not to the percentage that opponents hope for in a referendum" - since it can often be heard from the SNS and the DSS that 90 percent of voters would say "no".

From the DSS you can hear that 90% are against the EU and similar things. But that's what polls are for, to show more accurate data than you can expect from party propaganda.

don´t fall for those wanna-be lines of tirana boy! there is nothing to give away as a present to the Albanians, since all of it is serbian territory. fullstop. there is only one solution, re-integration, or there will be no peace in that region.

it is only a question of time, until the US of A realize that it is not worth it, and Serbia is waiting, patiently.

I live in albania and i am happy that kosovo today is not serbian land, but no one can argue that NATO attack on Serbia was legitimate... (as far NATO don't go to bomb Russia about chechenya or China over Tiber) I sincerely belive that in a nation story, some things should be forgotten, but other should not be and i mean forever. You should not forgett that this so called superpowers in this bs aleance destroyed what remained from yugoslavia and killed hundreds in those bombardments. A big BRAVO for serbian peoples of not forgeting this...
As always, in balkans, once again we, serbian this time, albanian other, we are the victims, the same victim of today borders, of the nonsense of republika srbska in Bosnia and not in Serbia, the same nonsense of northen kosovo not included in serbia and albanian in kosovo keeping your holy churches and monasteries. Is the same nonsense of two albanian states instead of one including the other part of kosovo, or of a country called macedonia, the biggest nonsense in the world history...

Who told you that ?! If you go by that logic, no elections, polls or referendums would be held... whoever is in power can say "we are well aware what the citizens want so no need to ask them" LOL
