Kurti has stressed that such a thing would boost security in the country.
The head of the Government of Kosovo has also cited increasing the defence budget.
We have increased the defence budget by 52 percent, our national security forces are now 5,000 soldiers and 3,000 militias. But around Kosovo are 48 Serbian military bases. Russia and Serbia work closely together in military policy, they took a total of 104 maneuvers and activities together in 2021, some of the Belarusn armed forces were also involved. Due to the threat from Serbia and Russia, it is urgently necessary to significantly increase the number of NATO soldiers in Kosovo. This would clearly improve our security. It would also help if more German soldiers participated in NATO defence forces than before, which increases prevention. In addition, Kfor troops can help us further develop their own security structures and capabilities”, Kurti has declared for Die Welt.
