Albania, Kosovo, and Croatia have signed the Trilateral Declaration on Military Alliance.
The memorandum was signed in Tirana by Albanian Minister of Defense Pirro Vengu and his counterparts from Kosovo, Ejup Maqedonci, and Croatia, Ivan Anušić.
Defense Minister Ejup Maqedonci emphasized that the aim of the cooperation is not to pose a threat to anyone, but to send a message to those who might seek to threaten the region.
Prime Minister of the Republic of Kosova posted on X that joint declaration on cooperation will strengthen defense capabilities through collaboration, including the development of new technologies. "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.
Croatian Minister Anušić stated that the declaration would enhance cooperation in the military industry.
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.
This alliance, among other goals, aims to counter hybrid threats, strengthen strategic stability, and provide full support for Euro-Atlantic integration and regional defense.
The declaration leaves open the possibility for other countries to join, with Bulgaria already having received an invitation.
