Heute unterzeichneten GL Bashkim Jashari & ich das 🇩🇪🇽🇰#Defence Cooperation Arrangement. Es unterstreicht unsere engen & langjährigen mil Beziehungen. Sicherheit & Stabilität auf dem Westbalkan bleiben für uns eine Priorität. Deswegen haben wir 2024 bei #KFOR aufgestockt.#Kosovo

[GermanForeignOffice @GermanyDiplo]

Germany joins @eu_eeas in condemning in the strongest terms yesterday’s terrorist attack on #Kosovo’s critical infrastructure. Full solidarity with 🇽🇰. Those responsible must be held accountable.

[Ejup Maqedonci @EjupMaqedonci]

During @Defence24pl panel interventions, I stressed the fact that in Ballkan still exist the danger of escalation. Banjska terrorist attack has proven this point. The perpetrators acted not alone but w/state backing.

NATO and 🇪🇺 members should not ignore the facts.
