TRAVEMUENDE : Whither NATO?
Defense ministers of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization will meet in this German port city on the Baltic Sea starting today to ponder the future of the Western Alliance .
In what is described by NATO officials as a “brainstorming” session, ministers will discuss possible deployment of peacekeeping forces in Bosnia, operations outside the traditional NATO area of concern, and enlargement of the alliance to include former East European Communist nations.
The three-day meeting is intended, NATO sources say, to get the 16 nations to agree on overall policy for the 1990s so that the January NATO summit--President Clinton’s first as leader of the alliance--will be considered a success.
