Former Commander of the Naval Forces, Artur Meçollari, spoke about Kosovo’s armament from the United States and Turkey during an interview on the program “Balkan Talks” on Euronews.al.
He emphasized that these developments are significantly increasing the country’s military capabilities and overall level of security.
According to Meçollari, the acquisition of new military systems means that Kosovo will be able to project its power beyond its borders.
“The purchase of these systems means that Kosovo will be able to project military power beyond its borders; these systems can strike further than its own territory, in military terms.
This is not the final move. Over the past two years, Kosovo has made substantial progress in the field of defense. The military equipment it is acquiring is transforming it into an armed force. There are several developments within the Kosovo Security Force (KSF) that are significantly increasing its capabilities.
The two main military partnerships are with the United States and Turkey.
The moves being made in Kosovo are such that the armed force is significantly raising the level of security. The Banjska incident changed Kosovo’s entire security framework. When it comes to Serbia, Vučić is problematic on the international stage. He may leave office, but his departure will not resolve the problem with Kosovo,” Artur Meçollari said.
