So said the commander of US forces in Europe, Curtis M. Scaparott, in a testimony to the American Senate's Committee for Armed Forces.
Scaparrotti, who is also the Supreme Commander of the Alliance of NATO in Europe has called the Balkans a region of strategic importance as it spoke before the senators and talks between Kosovo and Serbia.
Negotiations between Kosovo and Serbia on normalising reports and reaching a long-term solution that is applicable to both countries are currently suspended.
“Russia fuels regional instability in an effort to prevent Balkan countries from advancing towards Euro-Atlantic integration”, General Scaparrotti has said, underlining the fact that Moscow opposes recognition of Kosovo as sovereign state and through political, military and economic aid trying to preserve its influence in Serbia.
The general stressed that NATO's force in Kosovo (KFOR) -- which includes over 3,500 troops from coalition member states and other states -- plays an important role in preserving security and stability in the region.
