Although delayed, of course and without any doubt, the release of 3 policemen of the Kosovo Security Forces is very good news!

On the other hand, including and beyond this event, there remain some assessments, lessons learned as well as 5 Euro-Atlantic messages that should never be forgotten by both parties as well as the Euro-Atlantic factors in the region:

First , the brutal arrest, or even worse, the approach or behavior as a terrorist state (Kim Jong's Korea or Putinist Russia) in the cross-border space between two sovereign/European states will be inventoried for a long time as: "a drive that shames Official Belgrade "!

Second , saying this: "the delusional attitudes, the lack of a code of national/noble gratitude, as well as the reactions/measures not consulted with the liberators and true guarantors of sovereignty (USA/NATO) neither justify nor honor Official Pristina "!

Thirdly , I appreciate it as the right time to "work even more for peace by planting, watering and establishing measures of mutual trust , as well as to return to unconditional dialogue between the two sovereign countries (Serbia and Kosovo)".

Fourthly , beyond this event and despite the recycling of the conflict climate as well as the misuse of Official Belgrade for the interests of Russia - Putinists, 24 years after the liberation of Kosovo, I believe even more strongly that peace remains the only option and mission , so that security is consumed beyond the bloody history, in the interest of the security of life, property, prosperity of the citizens of Kosovo and Serbia as well as the Euro-Atlantic perspective for the 6 countries of the Western Balkans.

Fifthly , also, after 24 years of Kosovo's independence, I believe even more strongly that the strengthening of cooperation with the USA/NATO/UK/EU: "still remains with critical weight not only to free it from the Serbian occupation in June 1999 but also for the future Euro-Atlantic of Kosovo as well as the national interests of RS/Kosovo.

On this occasion, I re-Confirm that, as in over 35 years engaged in the field of national security and NATO: "I remain a dedicated and humble soldier of the Motherland for the protection and development of National interests in the Region, the Mediterranean and beyond".
