NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said from Skopje that he does not see any military threat coming from Russia to a NATO member country or to the region. He made these statements after the meeting he held with the Macedonian Prime Minister, Dimitar Kovacevski.
When asked about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's statement that Russia is aiming to foment conflict in the region, he said that NATO will never allow such a thing to happen, but will do everything to prevent any escalation of security situation.
"We do not see any military threat that would come from Russia against any NATO member country, or the region, but we are still careful and closely watching what Russia is doing. We have a military presence in this region, KFOR in Kosovo, the general headquarters in Sarajevo and the office in Belgrade, and we are prepared to do everything to protect any ally from any threat," said Stoltenberg.
On the other hand, he said that Kosovo and Serbia will have to continue the dialogue, as it is the only way to reach a solution.
"In Kosovo some time ago we saw incidents of serious violence that included unacceptable attacks on peacekeeping troops of KFOR, and those who did this must be held accountable. Belgrade and Pristina must continue with the dialogue that is being facilitated by the European Union, as it is the only way towards a solution that would respect the rights of all ethnic communities", said the head of the Western military alliance.
