As a success story of the NATO intervention in the spring of 1999, led by the United States of America, Kosovo today aims for NATO membership, not only to benefit from it but also to contribute to this alliance, said the prime minister. He mentioned the successful joint landing of the Kosovo Security Force (KSF) with the US Army Iowa National Guard in Kuwait and said that more such collaborations are welcome.
The United States of America is an irreplaceable ally and partner of Kosovo, said the Prime Minister.

The Prime Minister said that Kosovo and Serbia have an agreement, the Basic Agreement and its Annex, but which has been repeatedly violated by Serbia, while despite his insistence to sign it, Serbia has consistently refused to do so.
