he minister also underscored that NATO plays a major role in the current situation. "We must know how to defend ourselves. Our goal is to maintain order. The OSCE is one of the instruments we would need to settle the Ukrainian crisis. NATO, in its turn, is becoming a structure which could protect its neighbors," he said.
