TALLINN - Estonian Defense Minister Urmas Reinsalu said during his lecture, delivered at the National Defense Academy of Georgia on Sept. 25, that he supports the country’s aspirations to join the Alliance, but that Georgia needs to be patient, as joining is a long road to travel, the Defense Ministry's statement said.
According to Reinsalu's estimates, Georgia's preparations are progressing well.
