I'm absolutely confident that this great alliance will be able to find a great successor, said NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenebrg in an interview with PBS TV channel, APA reports.
"And my focus now is on leading the alliance until my tenure ends this fall. We're in midst of a war in Europe. And I'm focused on that. And then I'm confident that the 31 allies, will find a successor to replace me. I have no other plans than to end my tenure as secretary-general. I have been extended three times already. I'm here now. The plan was to be here for four years. I have been there for nine years. So, I think the good thing for everyone is now to have another person at the helm of the alliance. My focus is on being here, leading the alliance until there's new person in place," Stoltenberg said.
