BRUSSELS. April 14 (Interfax-AVN) - The NATO-Ukraine Commission, which will convene in Vilnius simultaneously with the NATO ministerial conference on April 21, will not make a decision about Ukraine's accession to the alliance, a high-ranking NATO official told Interfax.
The Vilnius meeting will be informal and no decisions are made at such meetings, the source said. Any decisions about inviting a country to join NATO are always made at NATO summits, he said.
However, the NATO-Ukraine Commission will discuss a new quality of relations, he said.
Ukraine has changed and it has serious ambitions, so the commission will discuss assistance in the modernization and democratization of Ukraine, he said.
Lithuanian Foreign Minister Antanas Valionis had said that Ukraine might be invited to join NATO before the end of this month.
He told the BBC Ukrainian service that the NATO-Ukraine Commission would approve an action plan for Ukraine's accession to the alliance.
