Pole for Top Nato Post?

Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski is likely to shortly submit his candidature for the position of the Nato secretary general. Polish embassies have been instructed to sound out the Alliance member countries' governments on this.

Confidential instructions about 'probing the intentions' as to the election of a new Nato secretary general were received by Polish ambassadors in the 27 Nato member states. Earlier, Mr Sikorski's chances were unofficially sounded out by the Polish embassies in Rome and with the Nato itself.
