Bucharest Summit Declaration
----------------------------
Issued by the Heads of State and Government participating in the meeting 
of the North Atlantic Council in Bucharest on 3 April 2008

(...)

NATO welcomes Ukraine's and Georgia's Euro-Atlantic aspirations for 
membership in NATO. We agreed today that these countries will become 
members of NATO. Both nations have made valuable contributions to 
Alliance operations. We welcome the democratic reforms in Ukraine and 
Georgia and look forward to free and fair parliamentary elections in 
Georgia in May. MAP is the next step for Ukraine and Georgia on their 
direct way to membership. Today we make clear that we support these 
countries' applications for MAP. Therefore we will now begin a period of 
intensive engagement with both at a high political level to address the 
questions still outstanding pertaining to their MAP applications. We 
have asked Foreign Ministers to make a first assessment of progress at 
their December 2008 meeting. Foreign Ministers have the authority to 
decide on the MAP applications of Ukraine and Georgia.
