KFOR is there to guarantee freedom of movement for everyone. This mission is clearly based on a UN mandate and there are no changes\u201d, Stoltenberg said.<\/p>\n<p>President Vucic described NATO\u2019s commitment to KFOR as \u201cvery important\u201d, adding that he hopes it was a \u201csimple misunderstanding\u201d stressing that the remarks of NATO Secretary-General will provide more peace and security in the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am very glad about these clarifications and I hope that Stoltenberg\u2019s declaration will be confirmed at the NATO summit in June. Perhaps it was a misunderstanding on my side, but I can say that we are on the right path to preserve peace in the region\u201d, Vucic said.<\/p>\n<p>Stoltenberg said NATO endorses the normalization process and that dialogue is the best platform to discuss solutions complying with the rights of all the communities in building long-term peace.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNATO fully supports the normalization of ties between Belgrade and Pristina. Dialogue is the best solution to find a solution to the rights of all the communities, for peace and for a future that is better for all\u201d, declared Stoltenberg.<\/p>\n<p>Kosovo-Serbia talks are set to resume in June with the mediation of the European Union.<\/p>\n<p><strong>YOU MIGHT ALSO LIKE<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/europe\/balkans\/2021\/05\/13\/one-of-the-great-powers-will-ask-for-withdrawal-of-kfor-and-unmik-from-kosovo-claims-vucic\/\">\u201cOne of the great powers will ask for the withdrawal of KFOR and UNMIK from Kosovo\u201d, claims Vucic<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/kosovo\/2021\/05\/14\/spain-welcomes-resumption-of-dialogue-between-kosovo-and-serbia\/\">Spain welcomes resumption of dialogue between Kosovo and Serbia<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/euronews.al\/en\/europe\/balkans\/2021\/05\/18\/osmani-vucic-clash-in-slovenia-serbian-president-insists-kosovo-is-a-part-of-serbia\/\">Osmani-Vucic clash in Slovenia, Serbian President insists \u201cKosovo is a part of Serbia\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NATO remains committed to peace and stability in the Western Balkans, and peacekeeping troops in Kosovo are the most tangible evidence of this commitment.
