In Sofia, Bulgaria, the NATO Parliamentary Assembly meeting will continue today, with Kosovo on the agenda. The agenda is expected to include the advancement of the status of the Kosovo Assembly from observer member to associate member.
The NATO General Assembly officially began its work on Saturday with three committees.
In the Committee on Defense and Security of the NATO General Assembly, the overall situation in Kosovo was discussed, particularly regarding the terrorist attack by paramilitary groups led by Milan Radoičić.
The comprehensive report presented by former British Defense Secretary, Lord Mark Lancaster, who is the rapporteur for the Western Balkans, included the reporting of the non-governmental organization “International Crisis Group,” which emphasized that KFOR negotiated the withdrawal of the Serbian paramilitary group.
The lawmakers of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly called on NATO allies to increase cooperation with democratic partners in the Western Balkans and Pacific countries to counter the efforts of authoritarian powers to expand their influence and challenge the international order.
Kosovo expects to receive support for advancing the status of the Kosovo Assembly from observer to associate member of this organization.
Our country is represented by deputies Driton Hyseni and Xhavit Haliti. They will be present at the work of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly in Sofia.
