STORYLINE: In a historic eastward shift, NATO expanded its membership beyond the borders of the former Soviet Union on Thursday amid a makeover designed to answer new threats including global terrorism. The Western alliance, which for decades confronted the U.S.S.R. across the barbed-wire divides of Central Europe, invited seven ex-communist countries under its security umbrella as part of reforms that U.S. President George W. Bush called the most significant in NATO's 53-year history. Barely a decade since they regained independence from the Soviet Union, the Baltic nations of Latvia, Estonia and Lithuania joined Bulgaria, Romania, Slovakia and Slovenia in receiving a call to become NATO members at the alliance's first summit behind the old Iron Curtain. Those countries will formally join the alliance in May 2004 after the parliaments of the NATO member countries ratify the expansion. "America's very pleased by today's decision" US President George Bush told the leaders. "We believe it strengthens our country's most important alliance" Find out more about AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/HowWeWork Twitter:   / ap_archive   Facebook:   / aparchives   ​​ Instagram:   / apnews   You can license this story through AP Archive: http://www.aparchive.com/metadata/you...
