Kurti said Kosovo is interested in boosting co-operation with KFOR.

The prime minister welcomed the addition of the number of KFOR troops, in response to Serbia's terrorist attack in Kosovo, stressing that this increased presence should focus on preserving the border between Kosovo and Serbia, since Serbia's arms have entered, and the threat to Kosovo comes. Maintaining the border also means closing illegal roads, so greater co-operation with the Kosovo Police” is necessary, the Kurti Office announced.
