A Call for Stronger Inter-Institutional Alliances

With cross-border tensions and hybrid warfare tactics remaining a persistent challenge across the Western Balkans, Haxhiu praised the agency’s staff for their rigorous focus and strict operational discretion.

She underscored that the presidency will continue to back defensive modernization efforts to ensure Kosovo stays ahead of evolving security issues.

“I expressed my deep appreciation for the professional integrity and unwavering commitment demonstrated by KIA personnel in defending our state interests and national security,” Haxhiu added. “The continuous strengthening of our intelligence capacities and close inter-institutional cooperation remain absolutely critical to maintaining a secure Republic that is fully prepared to counter future challenges.”
