SIGNAKHI, Georgia, Oct 4 (Reuters) - NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer said on Thursday that no nation could veto Georgia's bid to become a member of the NATO military alliance.

"No other nation, big or small, has a veto on the course Georgia and NATO want to follow together," he told reporters.

"That is the process that has to be decided finally by all the 26 NATO allies and no nation, I repeat big or small, will be able to influence that process."

A fuel oil spill from a tanker into the Black Sea is killing dolphins and the nearby Sea of Azov may suffer heavy pollution if urgent measures are not taken, Russia's environment watchdog said on Thursday. A storm on Sunday broke up the tanker and sank at least four freighters while crippling other vessels in the narrow Kerch Strait between the Black Sea and the Sea of Azov. Four seamen drowned and four others are missing. REUTERS/Alexander Natruskin (RUSSIA)
