Minister of Defense, Ermal Nufi, has reacted to the 27th anniversary of NATO’s intervention in Kosovo, for its liberation from Serbia.
Nuf’s post
27 years ago, NATO’s intervention in Kosovo marked a historic moment not only for the Albanian nation, but also for the very conscience of the democratic world.
It was an act of determination to stop a humanitarian tragedy and defend human dignity in the face of a regime that had chosen violence and destruction.
For the Albanian factor in the region, this intervention was much more than a military operation; it was a historical turning point that confirmed the right to live freely and in peace.
It proved that the values ??on which the Western world is built; freedom, human dignity, and justice, are not simply written principles, but commitments that are resolutely defended wherever they are violated.
Kosovo and its democratic institutions are today the strongest guarantee that the decision taken 27 years ago was the right one.
With its commitment to growing alongside its allies, it deserves to be where it belongs very soon — at all the tables and organizations of the Euro-Atlantic architecture.
Today, after 27 years, this event remains a powerful reminder that peace is not a given, but requires continued commitment.
NATO continues to be the greatest guarantor of security and stability, not only in the Balkans, but throughout the world, standing on the front lines of protecting the values ??that unite us.
Albania remains steadfast in its commitment to the Alliance. Our contribution to peacekeeping missions and collective defense is a clear expression of this commitment and our conviction that security is a shared responsibility.
Standing together, in unity and solidarity, is the strongest guarantee that such tragedies against life, peace, and Western values ??will never be repeated.
