NATO goes a-wooing

Article Abstract:

NATO began talks with Russian officials in Jan 1997, in an effort to reduce Russia's anxiety about NATO's plans for expansion. It is likely that countries such as Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic will join by 1999. Russia wants concessions and a special relationship with NATO.
