What to expect? NATO summit in Warsaw.

In July 2016 Polish capital hosts the North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit. Big and important event both for the Treaty and for the region. It is also very symbolic. Not so long ago, 14th May 1955 there was creation of Warsaw Pact, the counterweight to NATO, that strengthened the Soviet influence in its neighbours in Europe. Poland joined NATO in 1999, nine years after Warsaw Pact ending. Combination of new challenges faced by the Treaty nowadays and historic symbolism could bring the significance of the event as well as, perhaps, new dimension for the organization.
