Rama urges stronger NATO response against gangs in northern Kosovo

Rama says the region's security is not a small problem enough to have the international focus.

The problem of the Western Balkans is now associated with security. It's probably not as big a problem as Ukraine's, but it's not a small”, Rama said.

The Albanian prime minister says dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia is politically mediated by the European Union, but on the ground, he says, there is a third party, which are criminal gangs operating in northern Kosovo.

Until the relief of dialogue by the EU is done with the parties, with Pristina and Belgrade, a third party that are extreme groups in northern Kosovo, which over the years has been a paradise place for crime”, Rama has said.

He, in addition to the EU-led political dialogue, expects “a stronger NATO stance through KFOR”, Rama has said.
