Cavoli: We will deploy heavy troops and artillery in the region, threats in Kosovo must be mounted

Cavoli said at the beginning of the speech that NATO does not have only one problem like the US, which is not a country with just one problem.

It is important to admit that there are other things happening in Europe that are not good for US national interests. Also, they are not about war in Ukraine. The first thing we did was we decided to do something inside NATO about the reserve forces”, Cavoli said.

He went on to say that this is primarily about deployed forces under the mission in Kosovo (KFOR) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (Mission EUFOR Alta).

“We have made a review of the plan and showed that we need not only more forces, but also the most heavy NATO artillery to deploy to the region. The number of troops in Bosnia and Herzegovina and KFOR in Kosovo must increase for monitoring, detection and monitoring threats against them”, He added away.

 

 

 

He then touched on NATO reserve forces in the EU's Altea mission.

“We are resolving the connections between the reserve forces for the EU mission Alta in Bosnia and Herzegovina and the KFOR mission. It was an economy we couldn't afford anymore. Split the strategic forces in that area. France was especially generous on this issue and I thank it that way, He confirmed.

France has put the battalion on operational alert. This week, tensions are markedly higher. We've started at least two focused missions to increase information collection to better understand what's going on in both countries”, Cavoli added.

The American military said ethnic tensions in Bosnia and Herzegovina also have the potential to escalate and destabilise the Western Balkan region.
