In a press conference, Albania’s Minister of Defense, Ermal Nufi, spoke about trilateral cooperation with Kosovo and Croatia on military training.
He also touched on the joint training between NATO and the Serbian army, stating that this does not bother him at all, TopChannel reports.
“We have cooperation with Croatia and Kosovo. The states cooperate in the defense industry. Within the framework of the agreement, it is to promote cooperation, since Croatia and Albania are both part of NATO. We are both within the framework of the alliance’s strategy regarding defense. As for cooperation with Kosovo, it is in the production of military equipment.”
“Today, as we speak, there is an exercise taking place between NATO and the Serbian army. The fact that this exercise is taking place and the fact that Albania and Croatia are part of NATO, and in Kosovo there is the presence of KFOR, which is a NATO mission, shows that the NATO exercise there is more of a media firestorm there,” said Minister Nufi, among other things.
The Chief of General Staff of the Albanian Armed Forces, Arben Kingji, shared details about the joint exercise between Albania, Kosovo and Croatia.
“Regarding the question, the exercises will take place in Croatia, where we are in the planning phase. Also one in Albania. There will not be three countries, but also others, either from NATO or from countries with which we cooperate,” Kingji said.
