The North Atlantic Alliance will do everything to maintain stability in the Western Balkans. These are the words of the Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, at the start of the meeting of the foreign ministers of the member states. He expressed concern about the increase in tensions in the region.
"What we see there is that tensions rise. I am seeing rising tensions and inflammatory rhetoric in Bosnia and Herzegovina. We have seen serious incidents of violence in Kosovo, including the attack on NATO peacekeepers. 93 NATO soldiers were injured, some of them very seriously. We also had the attack in Banjska, NATO will do what is necessary to maintain or ensure stability in the region, because this is important not only for the Western Balkans, but for all of Europe".
At the meeting being held in Brussels on November 28 and 29, the heads of diplomacy of 31 member states will discuss, among other things, the security situation in the region. The German Foreign Minister, Annalena Baerbock, stated that external actors are constantly trying to destabilize the region.
"This applies not only to the situation on the border between Kosovo and Serbia, but also to the situation in Bosnia and Herzegovina. NATO, but also the EU, is one of the guarantors for the security of the Western Balkans", said Baerbock. She described the discussions at the level of NATO ministers about the situation in the region as very important while warning that Germany will send 150 additional soldiers to KFOR during the next year.
Therefore, the American Secretary of State Anthony Blinken, during a joint statement with Stoltenberg, reconfirmed the strong support for Ukraine in the face of Russian aggression. (A2 Televizion)
