Ms Osmani, dear Vjosa,
Welcome to NATO Headquarters.
It’s great to see you again.
We just discussed the recent tensions in the north of Kosovo.
And the continuing importance of NATO’s KFOR peacekeeping mission under the mandate of the UN Security Council resolution 1244.
Our KFOR troops were attacked earlier this year.

NATO considers these to be of the highest importance, and expects them to be fully met.
In line with Pristina’s commitment from 2013, any deployment of the Kosovo Security Force to the North of Kosovo requ...

Dear Kaja,
Welcome back to NATO, it’s great to have you here.
We are only two weeks from the NATO Summit in Vilnius.
Where we will take far-reaching decisions to bolster our deterrence and defence, and step up our support for Ukraine.

It’s a really great pleasure to be here at this ‘Day of Industry’, and I look forward to share with you a few thoughts, and then sit down and actually answer some of your questions, and listen to your remarks.
Because we are now at a critical time for our security: Great-power competition is on the rise, our values and democracies are under pressure, and President Putin has brought war back to Europe.
After the Cold War, we all hoped for – and worked for – a more peaceful relationship with Russia.
Gradually those hopes waned, because of President Putin’s pattern of aggressive behaviour - in Georgia, Aleppo, Crimea and the Donbas.

The more land the Ukrainians are able to liberate, the stronger their hand will eventually be at the negotiating table.
We all want this war to end. But a just peace cannot mean freezing the conflict and accepting a deal dictated by Russia.
