The final documents of the NATO summit in Warsaw will contain a reaffirmation of the Bucharest summit resolution that Georgia will become a NATO member and that NATO supports this country's sovereignty and territorial integrity, NATO Secretary General's Special Representative for the Caucasus and Central Asia James Appathurai said in an interview with Georgia's First Channel television.

The final documents will contain a few new points on Georgia, Appathurai said. For example, NATO focuses on the Black Sea, given the events that took place in Crimea, and is set to extend its regular security dialogue to the Black Sea states. NATO already maintains a dialogue with the Baltic States, Sweden and Finland. NATO's idea is to provide similar security on the Black Sea as well, and invite Ukraine and Georgia to join the dialogue, Appathurai said.
