“At the conclusion of my visit to the U.S., I visited the ‘Sikorsky – Lockheed Martin’ plant, where various helicopters are produced, including the Black Hawk helicopters, which will be part of the air support fleet of Kosovo’s military. Together with Lieutenant General Bashkim Jashari and Ambassador Blerim Reka, head of the Kosovo Consulate General Mission in New York, we met with the company’s management and discussed options for incorporating these helicopters into the Kosovo Security Force’s inventory.
