The Secretary General reaffirmed the region’s strategic importance to NATO and the Alliance’s steadfast commitment to safeguard peace and stability.

He highlighted that KFOR continues to implement its UN mandate to provide a safe and secure environment for all communities living in Kosovo.

He also stressed that ending secessionist rhetoric would boost stability and reforms in Bosnia and Herzegovina, underlined the importance of NATO’s partnership with Serbia, and called for Belgrade and Pristina to reengage with the EU-facilitated dialogue for the normalisation of their relations. In Skopje, the Secretary General hailed the contributions to Euro-Atlantic security by North Macedonia – a NATO Ally since 2020 - and praised the country’s successful multi-ethnic society, which shows that it is possible for different ethnic and religious groups to live together in peace.

He also met with Allied leaders from the Western Balkans. Hosted by the Prime Minister of North Macedonia, the meeting was attended by the Prime Minister of Albania, the President of Croatia, and the Prime Minister of Montenegro.
