He said that Kosovo expect to establish a political dialogue with NATO and to enter into contractual relations with the alliance.<\/p>\n

The head of state said that ninety percent of Kosovo’s population is pro-NATO and that we should seize the momentum more proactively, because any delay in the integration processes open road to extremist ideologies.<\/p>\n
The United States Navy admiral, Mark E. Ferguson III said that the national priorities such as rule of law, fighting corruption and organized crime ensure that Kosovo will have fewer threats to which NATO would have to respond.<\/p>\n
“This is a good sign of stabilization and normalization of Kosovo. We are pleased with KSF’s reforms”, admiral Ferguson said.<\/p>\n
President Tha\u00e7i concluded that Kosovo is a leader in the region in combating extremism and radicalism.<\/p>\n
“Kosovo is the only country in the region that has taken concrete steps in this respect. We have passed legislation that bans participation in foreign wars. We have conducted awareness raising campaigns so that the public is not deceived by terrorist and criminal organizations such as ISIS. Ni Kosovan has joined terrorist groups in the past six months”, president Tha\u00e7i said.
