Kosovo’s First Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs and Diaspora, Glauk Konjufca, has described Kosovo as a concrete example of the success of transatlantic cooperation, highlighting the importance of continued partnership between the United States and the European Union for peace and security in the Western Balkans.
Konjufca made the remarks while participating in the 30th edition of Forum 2000 in Prague, where he took part in a panel titled “Bridging the Divide – Crafting a Transatlantic Roadmap for Tech & Economic Security.”
During the discussion, Konjufca said Kosovo’s transformation from a country devastated by war into a democracy living in peace demonstrated the results of strong institutions and close cooperation with the United States and the EU.
He stressed that Kosovo’s progress had been supported by the resilience of its institutions and its strong partnerships with Western allies.
Referring to the attacks in Banjska and on the Iber-Lepenc water canal, Konjufca said Kosovo had faced serious security threats and attempts at destabilization. He maintained that the country’s institutions had demonstrated determination and the capacity to respond to these challenges while protecting national security, with continued support from transatlantic partners.
Konjufca added that Kosovo’s experience illustrated the tangible benefits of transatlantic unity and underlined the importance of preserving this cooperation for the security and future of the Western Balkans.
