Kosovo, Albania, and Croatia signed the Tripartite Military Cooperation Declaration today. Prime Minister Albin Kurti described this declaration as an extremely important step for security and peace in the region.

However, Serbia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a strong reaction, stating that it will demand accountability from Croatia and Albania.

In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter), Serbia’s Foreign Ministry announced that it will send an urgent request to the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of Croatia and Albania, seeking a detailed explanation regarding the signing of the tripartite memorandum on defense cooperation.

Furthermore, the Serbian ministry refers to Serbia as “a guarantor of peace and military neutrality in the Balkans” and demands answers about the nature and objectives of this security cooperation.

“It is particularly concerning that this military alliance is being formed without consultation with Belgrade… which poses a threat to the security of the Serbian people and the entire region,” the statement reads.
