The Prime Minister of Kosovo, Albin Kurti, has welcomed NATO’s decision to increase the number of its troops in Kosovo.

According to Kurti, the attack on the Kosovo Police on September 24 illustrates Serbia’s efforts to destabilize Kosovo, with the help of its ally, Russia.

“These people want to turn back time,” Kurti told The Associated Press. “They are looking for a time machine. They want to go back 30 years. But this will not happen.”

Sergeant Afrim Bunjaku was killed in the attack on the Police in Banjska. Authorities said that during the clashes, three attackers were also killed.

On Friday, NATO, which has its own peacekeeping mission in Kosovo, KFOR, said it would increase its forces in Kosovo.

“We need NATO because the border with Serbia is very long and the Serbian army is recently strengthening its capacities and they have a lot of military equipment, both from the Russian Federation and from China,” Kurti said.
