These comments she made during her visit to the KSF ministry, where she was hosted by a military ceremony.

Sekerinska-Jankovska and Berisha continued with the joint meeting, then continued with bilateral meetings between the two delegations.

And at the media conference, Republika Macedonia Defence Minister Radmila Sekerinska-Jankovska said it is her first visit to Pristina, and this is evidence of what difficult period our two countries have experienced, but also the region, while only these two months are behind two meetings with the minister, which proves how many two governments are defined in building friendly relations.

According to her, co-operation will witness this year, where the joint session of the two governments will be held.

The first <x0W) work that we have to assure our neighbours is to help and not do the opposite, which means that for various issues we should be careful, so the Republic of Macedonia has always listened carefully to the position of the Republic of Kosovo, but also the attitude of the international community, and therefore we support the international community's stance in the direction that we should take into account all procedures, the political situation and all relevant situations in the region. For this reason we respect the international community's position because they said that procedures and constitutional changes should be respected, and in this part we as good neighbours will not get involved, but for all steps that will be taken we are willing to give our experience and make our contribution“, she said.

Kosovo Security Force Minister Rrustem Berisha said they have talked about co-operation they have in the field of framework education and the area of training, but also about deepening co-operation, which will be done with an agreement they hope to sign next month.

“E announced the minister's objective and processes for expanding the KSF mission until we have achieved that this Security Force will be a multiethnic force, a professional force that will be in service to all citizens, so we also discuss the capacities we possess, we want not only to be security consumers, but also to be pro-active security contributors, especially in areas that we have now achieved and possess. We like KSF, our aim and goal is NATO integration, in the context of this, are interested in advancing co-operation with all states that are part of the night and other states that aspire to be in NATO”, he said.

Berisha has also been asked about the integration of the Serb community into the KSF.

This year we have re-registered about 34 Kosovo citizens from the northern part of Kosovo and they have completed all the pre-law procedures under KSF, started training at the Ferizaj training centre, are well integrated, are very pleased with the start of training, with waiting, they feel equal to those who are the KSF structure. We will continue to continue to have the KSF be all citizens of the Republic of Kosovo, this we have witnessed to“, Berisha said.
