Për Ministrinë e Mbrojtjes së Republikës të Shqipërisë
Z. Pirro VENGU
Ministër i MbrojtjesFor the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Croatia
Mr. Ivan ANUŠIC
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defense
For the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Kosovo
Mr. Ejup MACEDONCI
Minister of Defense”, the statement reads.
In a post on the X platform, Albania's Defense Minister, Pirro Vengu, published the agreement, writing alongside it that our country has no precedents of secret agreements or treaties to the detriment of its neighbors, referring to Serbia's statements.
“ The agreement on defense and security between Albania, Kosovo and Croatia is a natural cooperation between three sovereign states. As allies, we have a genuine assessment of the threats that aim to hinder the European future of our region. Therefore, we have decided to cooperate to increase our defense capacities and to support the integration of Kosovo into regional mechanisms. Serbia, following an empty-chair policy in regional initiatives for two years, has unilaterally suspended its ability to promote or participate in multilateral consultations. This suspension, which is up to Serbia to set aside, renders useless any victimizing narrative coming from the Serbian government. In its history, Albania has no precedents of secret agreements or treaties to the detriment of its neighbors, as other states have had. Consequently, despite the curiosity of experts on regional dramas and those who are eager to find an ear to listen to groans, we have no problem at all "to publish the tripartite agreement ," writes Minister Vengu./ CNA
