¶1. The NATO accession protocols for Croatia and Albania have
already been approved by both houses of the German Parliament
and signed by President Horst Koehler. A notice to this
effect was published in the German Legal Gazette on December
¶31. The only remaining step is for Germany to deposit the
instruments of ratification in Washington.
¶2. MFA NATO Office Director Bernhard Schlagheck told post
January 30 that this final step would probably be carried out
within the next two weeks, but in any case, no later than the
end of February. He saw absolutely no obstacles or
impediments to achieving this.
