Unlike the concern that Serbia's military exercises near the border with Kosovo have aroused in Pristina, official Tirana seems more calm.
This calm regarding this situation that has alarmed the Prime Minister of Kosovo, according to the Albanian Minister of Defense, Ermal Nufi, stems from the fact that KFOR operates there, where Albanian troops are also included as a commitment that comes within the framework of a NATO member country.
"All doctrine and preparation is in line with NATO and the security of Albanian citizens, but also of Kosovo, as long as we have a mandated force there like KFOR. Concerns that may be perceived through the media, publications or replicas in the region, in Albania are translated into an approach that is in coordination with the alliance and partners; this makes us feel safe as long as we fulfill our duties towards the Alliance."
When asked, Nufi also described Serbia's reactions to the trilateral cooperation in the field of defense between Albania-Kosovo-Croatia as exaggerations of the risks claimed by Belgrade. /Tv Klan
