Brodeur said that NATO meets every six months to decide on appropriate troop numbers. The alliance has not yet decided on Rumsfeld's proposal and would make no moves until the next defence ministers meeting in the spring.
Broder je rekao da se NATO sastaje na svakih šest meseci kako bi odlučivao o odgovarajućem broju vojnika.Alijansa još uvek nije donela odluku o Ramsfeldovom predlogu i neće činiti ništa do sledećeg sastanka ministara odbrana zakazanog za proleće.
