Serbia is using hybrid tactics”: Shea shows how NATO should help Kosovo

Shea has said that fortunately there are no more ground - force aggressions as it once did and has stressed that hybrid methods of attacks are already being used.

He has said that seeing this, it is very important that NATO help Kosovo with intelligence.

The situation is clearly much more stable than 27 years ago. KFOR forces have remained in Kosovo all this time to maintain peace and the EU, taking over from NATO in 2004, has carried out a similar task in Bosnia. The actions of NATO and the EU helped prevent a civil war in northern Macedonia during the 20022004 period. There have been tensions due to many unresolved disputes both within countries of the region and between them, but harsh rhetoric so far has not been associated with open military aggression, as in the 1990s. Thank God. Threats are now more of the hybrid activities, or so-called “hea gray” of some countries, such as propaganda and deinformation campaigns, economic blackmail through trade boycotts and restrictions, as well as the use of parallel and secret security forces or structures to create chaos and promote political divisions. Serbia has certainly used these tactics against Kosovo to try to weaken it. Banjska incident in September 2023 is a good example. Therefore, NATO's main task today is to help Kosovo with better intelligence on these forms of hybrid war and to develop its internal stability to protect against them”, Shea has said of RTK.
