NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer told reporters during a visit to the Polish capital, Warsaw, that the alliance hopes Ukraine's parliamentary elections next month "will be free and fair."
Scheffer indicated that the 26 March vote will play a role in Ukraine's possible acceptance into the organization.
