"This is an important step in regional cooperation and defense vision, which will contribute to the security of the region as a whole," - he added.

Minister Vengu stated that, in addition to the military industry, the declaration also emphasizes cooperation in training and the modernization of capacities. He noted that Albania and Kosovo have much to learn from Croatia in the field of defense.
“The declaration not only reflects political will but also highlights priorities we share. It mainly focuses on the importance our countries place on the renewal and strengthening of the military industry, as well as the need for deeper and broader cooperation in this crucial area of our national security,” Vengu said.
