Croatia, Albania, and so-called Kosovo — Military Alliance

The recent signing of the document on military alliance between Croatia, Albania, and so-called Kosovo is a clear sign of anti-Serbian plans. It is seriously undermining stability and cooperation in the Balkan Peninsula. Such plans between two NATO members and an entity under the mandate of the UN Security Council are also a clear violation of UN SC Resolution 1244. This territory of Serbia is not authorized to enter any such agreement without the authorization of the Security Council and the Government of Serbia.

Particularly, its provisions guaranteeing the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Serbia and the demilitarization of so-called Kosovo. Such an agreement between two members of NATO and so-called Kosovo, which is an illegally seceded territory of Serbia, could hardly be undertaken without the will and consent of NATO leadership.

It is an asymmetric stepping up of NATO pressures on Serbia to change policy of military neutrality, introduce sanctions against Russia, abandon strategic partnership with China, and abandon Republika Srpska in defending its status as an equal entity with competences guaranteed by the Dayton Peace Agreement and the Constitution contained therein.
