Kurti with Stoltenberg

The prime minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, during the joint conference in Brussels with the head of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, made clear the country's intention for membership in NATO.

The Prime Minister said that the request to be a member of the alliance is a "milestone" because of the concerns that the country is facing with its northern neighbors.

"I am very happy to be here and meet Mr. Stoltenberg. I emphasized the intention of my government and people for the future. We are committed to fulfilling our goals which are fully consistent with the goals of the alliance while preserving our historical orientation and our identity.

During the last 23 years, NATO has provided extraordinary assistance to help Kosovo to rebuild the war-torn country from a structural point of view. The defense force of Kosovo under the influence of NATO has been an exemplary success. Based on the advice and support of KFOR troops, the Kosovo force failed to carry out excellent operations. These lessons have been used in the region and beyond, in support of security and stability, as we hosted Afghan nationals in August last year, we are again committed to complementing this support.

We are clear. We want to join NATO. We consider our participation and clear demand to be members of NATO a cornerstone, an important milestone, because it is an organization that protects not only peace in the region, but also in the world. The institutions and the people of Kosovo have inherent reasons to be alert to the concerns that are coming from the northern neighbors. The Government of Kosovo ensures a peaceful life for all its citizens and minorities. I thank you above all for your commitment to lasting stability", said Albin Kurti.

Asked if there is a possibility to withdraw from the step to implement the decision on Serbian license plates and documents, Kurti said that the implementation is a legal action.

"We are implementing something that is legal according to the law and our constitution, and something that Serbia committed to in the Brussels dialogue. We see no other way and I believe that it is in our best interest to make things legitimate in our country", said Kurti

Kurti was also asked if he accepts the statement that both sides are responsible for the escalation of tensions.

"On one side we have the police of the democratic state of Kosovo, and on the other side we have illegal Serbian structures that have turned into criminal gangs."

In the joint conference with the Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, the head of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, welcomed Kosovo's position on the dialogue with Serbia.

He encouraged the parties to hold a constructive dialogue the next day. Stoltenberg announced that there are currently 3,700 KFOR troops in Kosovo.

"KFOR has more than 3,700 deployed troops and we are of course engaged with the support of our allies, we have their logistical support. KFOR has undertaken to protect the integrity, security and peace of the people of Kosovo, but of course they also support a dialogue between countries. I encourage the parties to have a constructive dialogue between themselves at tomorrow's meeting. I welcome and appreciate the presence of Albini here today so that we can find common ground to find ways for the common good of the communities", said Jens Stoltenberg.
