NATO's Secretary General said in Pristina on November 20 that the alliance is considering whether there should be a permanent increase in its military presence in Kosovo, following the outbreak of violence in September.
"Now we are considering whether we should have a permanent extension to make sure that this does not get out of hand and create any violence in Kosovo, or in the wider region. We will do what is necessary. Currently, we are reviewing the arrangements regarding our presence", he said in a press conference with the president of Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani.
During the visit to Pristina, which is part of a Balkan tour, Stoltenberg said that the increase of the military presence in Kosovo by 1,000 troops - which constitutes the largest deployment in recent years of the alliance - shows how seriously the alliance takes the violence that broke out in recent months in Kosovo.
"We are really investing in the security of this region, because the security of the people in this region, the stability in this region, is important for our security," he said.
The NATO chief said the alliance is conducting a military presence review "which includes Bosnia and Herzegovina and also Kosovo."
