Minister Niko Peleshi, in his speech at the inauguration ceremony of the new NATO base in Kuçovo, stated that it will be the main base of our Air Force, while emphasizing that this is a strategic point for the Alliance and for the region.
" One of NATO's biggest investments in Albania. The sense of pride is more than obvious. The last friend floated on this track about 19 years ago.
It is time for the echo of NATO planes to be felt in Kučovo, the defenders of our skies in the most threatened decade of the modern history of the region and the whole of Europe.
It will serve as the main base for our air force, for which the investment will not fall until the creation of a dignified fleet in the service of the defense of our people and our allies. The help and support that Albania can give to neighboring countries makes us feel more vulnerable than ever before. Not more than two years ago, none of us would have thought that Europe would face such a vicious aggression against an innocent people, as is happening in Ukraine.
Everything is expected from the throne of the east and we must be prepared to defend ourselves with the only winning formula on the table, the union of our forces and capacities."
Black Hock and Bajraktar drones are currently in full readiness to launch flights at the base. Their number will increase significantly in the future. Allies see this base as a strategic point. The base has the capacity to deal with natural disasters. Connecting nodes for countries in the region. We also have plans for Porto Romano ," said Peleshi.
