NATO Allies Italy and Greece began air policing over Montenegro. Montenegro joined NATO in June last year. NATO air policing missions protect the skies of those Allies that do not have their own air force. There are currently several of these air policing missions across Europe. NATO air policing is a long-running, routine mission to safeguard the integrity of Alliance airspace, a core task of NATO’s collective defence.
