The NATO General Secretary lauded Albania for its contribution in
Afghanistan and other operations of the Alliance, while President Bujar
Nishani reiterated the commitment of our country until the end.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen, NATO General Secretary:
“I thank your for your unreserved support and I thank your military men for their courage and professionalism. Our mission in Afghanistan is difficult, but with a determined strategy we are marking consistent progress”.
Bujar Nishani, Albanian President:
“Albania will keep supporting the Alliance for what it will be needed, even beyond 2013, and will respect the principle of cooperation until the end of the mission”.
As regards Kosovo, it was reiterated that there can be no territorial division or border change and NATO will keep guaranteeing peace and security.
Bujar Nishani: “I am sure that Kosovo will become a NATO member one day and the Security Forces will be able to serve besides the other allies for peace and security”.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen: “NATO guarantees in Kosovo the security and stability for more than 10 years. We have implemented the UN mandate in the interest of all Kosovo residents and we will not allow any rejection of this achievement. The Chicago Summit showed the importance that NATO keeps giving to Balkan, where the euro-atlantic integration remains the most efficient way for guaranteeing stability”.
The NATO General Secretary declared that the Alliance’s doors remain open for all Balkan countries, a policy supported by one of the newest member countries, Albania.
