Stoltenberg: NATO will guarantee security and stability for the people of Kosovo
Jens Stoltenberg

The Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, has said that he is ready to meet with the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, as he called for an extension of the situation in the north of Kosovo.

Serbian President Vucic said on July 6 that he will request a meeting with Stoltenberg after the NATO summit in Vilnius, and then an urgent session of the United Nations Security Council (UN) due to the situation in Kosovo.

"I am in constant contact with [President of Serbia] Aleksandar Vučić and I am definitely ready to meet. We are concerned about the increase in tensions in Kosovo and call on all parties to de-escalate [the situation] and refrain from any action that could further escalate the situation in the region," said Stoltenberg.

Speaking at the press conference before the start of the NATO summit in Vilnius, Lithuania, Stoltenberg reiterated that NATO is in Kosovo to guarantee security and stability in the region.

"NATO is there to guarantee security and stability for the people of Kosovo. We carry out our mandate impartially. We increased our presence because of the instability, violence and tensions we have seen for several weeks," he said.

After the increase of tensions in the north of Kosovo, NATO has engaged 700 additional troops in Kosovo, in addition to the 4,000 troops that are already deployed in Kosovo.

Leaders of the NATO military alliance have gathered in Vilnius, Lithuania. The summit comes at a critical time for security in Europe, as the war in Ukraine is amid a counteroffensive by Kiev.

At the summit, Kosovo is not expected to be discussed at all, despite the increase in tensions in the north of the country inhabited by a Serbian majority.

The recent riots in this part of the country have led to attacks by Serbian protesters against the soldiers of the NATO mission in Kosovo - KFOR, but, nevertheless, Kosovo is off the official agenda of the discussions.

Që nga fundi i majit, serbët që jetojnë në komunat veriore të Kosovës, Zveçan, Leposaviq dhe Zubin Potok po kundërshtojnë që kryetarët e rinj shqiptarë të punojnë nga ndërtesat komunale. Ata po ashtu po kërkojnë tërheqjen e njësive speciale të Policisë së Kosovës nga veriu.

Që nga ajo kohë, në veri janë shënuar disa incidente me shok-bomba dhe granata dore si dhe më 29 maj në Zveçan protestuesit serbë janë përleshur me pjesëtarët e KFOR-it.

Nga këto përleshje kanë mbetur të lënduar dhjetëra persona nga të dyja palët. Në mesin e ushtarëve të lënduar ishin 19 ushtarë hungarezë dhe 11 ushtarë italianë.

Tre nga ushtarë të Hungarisë ishin plagosur me armë zjarri.

Bashkimi Evropian i ka paraqitur tri kërkesa Kosovës dhe Serbisë për të ulur tensionet.

Për shkak të mospërmbushjes së tyre, BE-ja nga fundi i qershorit ka nisur të zbatojë disa masa ndëshkuese./REL
