Cameron says what happened in Banjska must not happen again
Following his meetings with senior Kosovo officials, British Foreign Secretary David Cameron toured the British troops deployed to NATO’s Kosovo Force (KFOR).
Commenting at the Camp Film City in Pristina on the September 24 events in Banjska, Kosovo, Cameron said a repeat of these events must be prevented, reported KoSSev.
“I think what happened in September here was extremely worrying and we need to do everything we can to deter that from happening again and to combat it if it does happen again,” said the British official.
He repeatedly said that Kosovo is an “independent, sovereign country,” noting that Pristina wants stability, security, prosperity and that Britain is helping with all those things.
He emphasized that stability and security in the Balkans, and stopping those who want to create instability and problems, “is a direct British national interest.”
He thanked the UK troops deployed to KFOR for “their service and dedication in support of Kosovan and regional security.”
“KFOR plays an essential role in helping maintain a safe and secure environment for all in Kosovo, bolstering security and stability across the Western Balkans,” Cameron wrote in a post on the X social media platform.
KFOR said its Commander welcomed Cameron and expressed his appreciation for the steadfast contribution of the United Kingdom to the KFOR mission.
