Prishtina, 16 December, 2024
The Government of the Republic of Kosovo has signed today an agreement with the Turkish state-owned defense industry producer “Makine ve Kimya Endüstrisi” for the functionalization of the ammunition factory in Kosovo, which will produce various calibers of ammunition according to NATO standards.
In addition to the production machinery, the contract signed today also provides for staff training, maintenance for a certain period of time, and equipment with quality testing and calibration systems.
After functionalization, the Factory will operate as a public enterprise and as a 100% local brand of the Republic of Kosovo.
“We have conducted exercises together with the Turkish army, we have purchased equipment, ammunition and weapons that Turkey produces, and now it is time for us to produce together in our country,” said Prime Minister Kurti at the meeting with the delegation from the MKE that took place shortly before the agreement signing ceremony.
