Prishtina, 29 November, 2023
Three months after the last time they met, the Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosovo, Albin Kurti welcomed the United Kingdom’s Special Envoy for the Western Balkans, Lord Stuart Peach, for the sixth meeting between them this year.
The issues that were discussed today were bilateral relations, recent developments and the security situation in the country, namely on the border with Serbia after the terrorist and paramilitary attack in Banjska two months ago, and the deployment along the border of the anti-aircraft system of the Serbian army, the only one in Europe that operates with Chinese weapons and missile systems, such as the FK-3.
There was also talk about the dialogue process mediated by the European Union, but also about the October 26 meeting with European leaders in Brussels, as an important step and effort towards the normalization of relations between the Republic of Kosovo and Serbia, but also as a lost opportunity for sign the agreement as a guarantee of full implementation.
Prime Minister Kurti thanked Lord Stuart Peach for the cooperation with the United Kingdom in the field of defense and its active role in the field of security, especially through the KFOR mission. He emphasized that the landing of a contingent of 200 British soldiers in Kosovo, as a response to the terrorist attack of September 24, is contributing to the security situation.
