Kosovo will again be the host of military exercise “Defender Europe”, which will be organised in 2025.

Defence Ministry spokeswoman Liridona Gashi has confirmed the news.

“Yes, Kosovo will again be the host of Defender Europe, which will be organised in 2025. As for your clarification of all KSF targets in Defender Europe 2023 have been fulfilled, the only activity that was cancelled last year in this exercise has been DV DAY, the day before prominent visitors would be the practical execution of the exercise as recapitalisation of all activities that had been carried out throughout the exercise”, Gashi told Clankosova.tv.

Kosovo last year was excluded from the exercise “Defender Europe 2023” as the mass of the United States of America after tensions in the country's north.
