British troops deploy in Kosovo testing new NATO strategic corridor

British troops from Cutterick reportedly made history, becoming the first NATO troops to be deployed along a new strategic route across the Balkans.

This is Corridor 8, designed to allow NATO will quickly deploy forces and connect the Adriatic Sea with the Black Sea as it passes through Albania, northern Macedonia and Bulgaria.

Soldiers from the First Battalion, of the Royal Regiment from Yorkshire, have “condemned the path” after the battalion is deployed in Kosovo, where it will remain as part of NATO's KFOR operation until next year.

This article has discussed the importance of this corridor as well as former British Ambassador to Kosovo Nick Abbott, who currently serves as Great Britain's ambassador to Albania.
