At least, there are 3 main reasons why we mustn't join NATO.
Firstly, Montenegro has no external threats which could be a good reason for joining the North Atlantic Alliance, which today has become a tool of the clash of civilizations.
Secondly, the indispensable condition of NATO's membership means all possible and absolute conformity with the US policy. As a matter of fact, Montenegro's NATO membership gives us nothing but several "privileges" which are more than just doubtful: the elimination of our own armory, early dismissal of senior officers, the participation in destruction of other countries and nations' independence, the deployment of NATO bases on our own territory and finally the protection of uninterrupted drug trafficking routes to Afghanistan – Kosovo – Europe and Afghanistan – Middle Asia.
Thirdly, the presence of military forces will cause a certain degree of nervousness and will create the possibility of threat for citizens and tourists. Considering that the income from tourism plays a significant role in the formation of national GDP, the reducing of numbers of tourists will have a negative influence on the economy of our country.
It's notable that only 35% of population of our country supports joining NATO. Nevertheless in spite of public opinion, our government still speaks about NATO membership, as if it doesn’t concern every single Montenegro citizen. Unlike the people it seems that the government has forgotten May 24, 1999 when NATO bombs rained down on a peaceful European country, killing nearly two thousands of our compatriots! Is one generation enough to forget how on our heads were flying depleted uranium bombs which are still poisoning our soil and water? It's remarkable that throughout the history, NATO has positioned itself as an offensive alliance, and never as a defensive. Hence the question – do we really need to join the alliance which guarantees nothing but destruction policy?
Among other things I'm sure that Montenegro has other much more important problems to solve. The NATO membership question must be decided by a national referendum where every citizen of Montenegro has the right to determine the fate of his own country. Joining NATO will automatically deprive us the right for independence and freedom!
