The Minister of Defense Niko Peleshi participated in the regional, Europe and security panel during the proceedings of the Socialist Party Congress, where he noted the security threats in Europe as a result of recent events and the necessity that the Armed Forces must be able to maintain territorial integrity of the country.
According to Pelesh, every corner of Albania is safe and protected by the principle of collective defense of NATO.
“The historically western vocation of the Albanians materialized 13 years ago with NATO membership. Today, Albania is a security exporter in peacekeeping missions and a factor of stability in the region. About 8000 members of the Armed Forces have served in NATO missions, EU, UN, from Afghanistan, Iraq, Latvia, Mali, Sudan to Bosnia and Herzegovina and of course in Kosovo. This year, work began on the implementation of the NATO Tactical Air Base in Kuçova. As a result of Russian aggression, the security environment in Europe and on the Alliance’s eastern border is threatened and unpredictable. Every’s of Albania is safe and protected by the principle of collective defense of NATO. Recent developments have strengthened the unity of the Alliance in defense of the common space and sovereignty of the member states. The Armed Forces must fulfill the tasks stemming from NATO. The Armed Forces must be able to fulfill the obligations arising from the constitutional mission to preserve the territorial integrity of the country. ” Peleshi stressed while announcing for the first time the start of the rapid process of raising the reserve force of the Armed Forces.
