Three U.S. congressmen have introduced a resolution supporting Kosovo’s membership in NATO.
Congressman Keith Self, together with Ritchie Torres and Mike Lawler, identified as a key obstacle the fact that four NATO member states do not recognize Kosovo. They stressed that the United States should encourage these countries to change their stance.
“Kosovo has demonstrated a clear commitment to regional stability and strategic alignment with NATO countries, but its progress toward membership is being hindered by the lack of recognition from a small number of allies,” said Self.
“Adding Kosovo to the alliance is essential to counter the growing influence of adversaries in Europe. The United States should encourage Greece, Romania, Slovakia and Spain to reconsider their positions and ensure that Kosovo has a credible and achievable path toward membership,” he added.
Greek media, including Greek Reporter, have also reported on the development, highlighting the call directed at official Athens to support Kosovo’s recognition and its path toward NATO membership.
