Security expert Fatjon Softa spoke about the NATO airbase in Kuçovo, which will be opened next week.
According to him, the position of this base is also important for the Albanian Air Force, as a supporter of NATO.
"It is an important base. The position is convenient, 70 km from Tirana. A lot has been invested by NATO. An important base for the Albanian Air Force as well. It is a closer base to the east. Albania is in the first line of force, supporting NATO. He was in Afghanistan and supported the sanctions against Russia. This is not a negative side. That a small country provides the territory for the alliance", said Softa.
But Softa adds that there may be a risk of having such a base, in the event of a NATO conflict with Russia or other countries.
"But Albania will be at the center of possible attacks in the context of different situations. In the context of geopolitics and having a line around Russia, NATO due to the membership of new states. There will be negative effects may be the focus of enemy forces in case of strikes. We tried it very minimally from Iran due to the shelter of the Iranian opposition in the Albanian territory. On the political level, there are many advantages that show that he is pro and supportive of the alliance," said Softa in an interview for Report TV.
