NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte has stated that the security situation in Kosovo is very important to them.
“I didn’t make a direct connection to the situation in Kosovo because I think KFOR is important, the EU forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina are important, they work closely together, so the security situation in Kosovo is very important for us,” said Rutte in a press conference.
He further expressed that he had asked the Serbs to work on accountability for the attack in Banjska.
“We need to ensure that the stability achieved since 1999 continues. As for the events in Banjska and the attack on NATO forces in 2023, the Serbs need to work to ensure accountability. This was the topic of our discussion with President Vučić on the phone, as well as during the dinner we had in Brussels two weeks ago,” Rutte said.
On the other hand, Rutte did not comment on the defense agreements between Kosovo, Albania, and Croatia, nor the one between Serbia and Hungary recently.
“Yes, there are many such bilateral and trilateral agreements, just like the one between Albania, Kosovo, and Croatia, and the one that is coming now,” Rutte added.
