U.S. Navy Commander for Europe and Africa and commander of NATO forces at the base of Naples, American Admiral Stuart B. Munsch said they have the opportunity to step up KFOR troops in Kosovo.
He declared that this will be decided on the basis of circumstances.
We have the opportunity to do this if necessary. That's why we decide according to circumstances”, he told the Voice of America.
He also spoke of adding KFOR troops during the recent period in Kosovo.
We added the number of forces and also the weapons and equipment they brought along to prevent other cases of violence. The year 2023 was the most violent year in Kosovo in the past two decades, along with the attack on KFOR forces in May and then with the next attack in September, during which a large quantity of weapons was discovered. We extended the number of forces so KFOR will be able to protect itself and also be willing to intervene in cases of a war between the two states. Currently, the main concern is political rhetoric in this period, which can promote either individual actors or non-state actors to take violent action, to show their discontent”, he said.
