How security experts assess Kurti-Stoltenberg meeting

The meeting of Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti, and of Serbia's president, Aleksandar Vuciq, with NATO head, security connoisseurs see as a clear message that there is no alternative but dialogue and finding permanent solution. Security expert Drizan Shala has told Radio Kosovo that the tense situation in the country's north last weeks, and especially for reciprocity, indicates that Secretary Stoltenberg wants to send the clear message to both sides that dialogue is the only option.

“NATO is willing to deliver a message to both sides to sit down and return to the negotiating table and thus find an optimial solution that does not lead to conflict or tension of the situation. This meeting is in the wake of meetings the international community made with both Kosovo and Serbia that their only alternative solution is for everything to go through dialogue”, Shala has declared for Radio Kosovo.

The security expert, Nuredin Ibishi, also highly esteems Kurt's meeting with Stoltenberg tomorrow. According to him, even at this meeting it will become clear to Serbia that in case of possible Serb aggression in the north, NATO will protect Kosovo.

The “in this meeting will become aware that every game, I think in the sense of establishing a combat position, will have this unpredictable effect, so, in the least first place for Serbia but also for all other countries aiming to disrupt peace in the Western Balkans”, Ibishi said.

The meeting of Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Serbia's president, Alexander Vuciq, with NATO Secretary General in Brussels, comes weeks after increasing tensions in northern Kosovo.
