It was planned before the war in Ukraine began. There is no direct connection to aggression, but, of course, aggression has exposed us to a fact that is increasing efforts and budgets to modernise the Armed Forces. So if not, other projects are related to aggression. We are adding efforts and budgets to our Armed Forces”, Peleshi said.
“To say it out loud again, Albania is safe, it is an ally in NATO. We have no concrete threat to which we must respond to our internal means. We're in NATO, protecting every inch. NATO reacts every time the earth is touched. So it's not about a risk, it's about the other side. NATO has prominently strengthened its eastern arm, at the border with Russia”, he added. /A2
