23 minutes agoOne year of time for Kosovo: Will invitations to the NATO summit in Tirana be provided?
Periskopi(an hour ago)
(an hour ago)Kosovo lost the opportunity to be part of the NATO summit this year, while Tirana has secured the host role for next year, returning to the Euro-Atlantic agenda spotlight in the region.
The upcoming summit in Tirana is seen as a new diplomatic opportunity for Kosovo, but also as a test for its institutions' ability to build alliances and advance the path towards Euro-Atlantic structures.
If Kosovo could ensure participation at the NATO summit in Tirana and, through this forum, create space to discuss its candidacy for membership in the Atlantic Alliance, this would constitute a development of particular strategic and diplomatic importance, the AP writes.
Such a step would mark progress in Kosovo's efforts to approach Euro-Atlantic structures and strengthen its position in the area of regional security. However, the path towards NATO membership remains linked to a variety of political and procedural factors, including the consensus of all Alliance member states.
