US congressional calls for quick Kosovo membership in NATO, EU

In an interview for Kanal 10, he has said it is time for Kosovo to take its place in the North Atlantic Alliance.

As leaders of the free world, the US must support their allies. We have no greater allies in Southeast Europe than Kosovo and I worry that without NATO membership, Kosovo may be open to the attacks of Serbia and Russia. We know that countries like Serbia, which pose a threat to Kosovo, are located on the side of Russia and Kosovo on the US side, so it should be part of a security umbrella that NATO provides”, Torres said.

He also said that Europe has to accept Kosovo into its family.

“Europe has a duty, to recognise Kosovo's independence because Russia is already the biggest threat to Europe's security, and Europe should not allow Russia to be intimated to not recognise Kosovo as part of the European family and the Western family. The Russian invasion of Ukraine led to a more unified West between the United States and Europe. Vladimir Putin did not calculate well and underestimated Western unity. We are seeing a unity we have not seen before and this may be a powerful basis for NATO enlargement for countries like Kosovo”, Torres said.
