Albanian PM: NATO’s intervention in Kosovo was historic decision

The NATO-led intervention against Slobodan Milosevic’s regime and the then Serbian army was a historic decision, Albanian Prime Minister Sali Berisha said.

He stressed that NATO’s intervention in 1999 was a necessary move as it protected the rights and the freedoms of Albanians in Kosovo.

The intervention was a breakthrough in the history of liberties of the Balkan nations, and at the same time, it was a new dimension of the North Atlantic Alliance.

Eleven years after the NATO-led air strikes, the free and independent Kosovo being a stability factor in the region, is the best confirmation of the NATO’s decision,” Berisha’s Cabinet said.
