The Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, has said that Kosovo and Serbia should refrain from inciting rhetoric and not take actions that could tense the situation even more.
He made this statement at a media conference before the NATO Foreign Ministers' meetings in Brussels. Stoltenberg said that the new proposal for the Association draft could be a "constructive step" to advance the dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia.
" We urged both Pristina and Belgrade to engage in good faith in the EU-facilitated dialogue. And we also believe that the proposal for the Association of Serb-majority municipalities can be an important step forward to move this dialogue in a more constructive direction. My message again is for Pristina and Belgrade, that both sides refrain from inflammatory rhetoric and certainly not to take any action that could increase tensions in the region ," Stoltenberg said.
He said that NATO will do whatever is necessary to ensure stability in the region, repeating that this is important for NATO since it has history and presence in the region.
" We have just increased the presence in Kosovo, adding extra troops. We are now evaluating whether we need to add more troops, but we are taking important steps as we increase our presence . " The Foreign Ministers of the NATO member countries will meet from November 27 to 29 in Brussels and the focus of the meeting will be the Russian aggression in Ukraine and the situation in the Western Balkans.
The American Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, will also participate in this meeting.
" Secretary Blinken will emphasize NATO's unwavering commitment to Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression, emphasize our support for democracy and regional stability in the Western Balkans, and discuss the priorities of the July 2024 Washington meeting ", it is stated in an announcement of the Department of State.
