Warsaw Pact Faces Uncertain Future Amid East Bloc Shifts
Western intelligence sees potential difficulty in mobilizing Soviet troops if a Western challenge arises. Hungarian delegates urged deactivation of the pact, but were persuaded to delay with a nonmilitary plan. Since a Bucharest summit, Poland and Czechoslovakia shifted governments, Honecker toppled in East Germany, and Ceausescu shot in Romania. Vaclav Havel, now Czech president, calls the meeting pivotal and urges balance with NATO. A unified Germany remains central, with U S favoring NATO membership, Moscow opposing, and talks of neue status or Warsaw Pact inclusion.
