Kosovo authorities: Country status in NATO Parliamentary Assembly advanced

Kosovo Defense Minister Ejup Macedonia and Vetevendosje MP Driton Hyseni said on Sunday that the Permanent Commission of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly has advanced the status of the Kosovo Assembly in this body from that observer to an associate.

Hyseni, at the same time the head of the delegation of the Assembly of Kosovo to this Assembly, said that this "is the highest level of presence in the Assembly until Kosovo's full membership in NATO", and that the decision will be formalized through a vote in the NATO Parliamentary Assembly in the spring session on 27 May in Sofia.

"With the increase of kosovo's representation in the NATO Assembly, we will have an expansion of delegation, greater involvement in the decisions of the Assembly and we will have the right to address amendments and comments to each process and document that is handled by the Assembly, which had to be done earlier through delegations from other countries. "I'm a gods," said Hussein in a facebook post.

Macedonian Minister has considered the decision as a major step towards the security and prosperity of Kosovo and the region.

RFE/RL has asked for NATO confirmation but has not yet received a response.

For the NATO Parliamentary Assembly

The Parliamentary Assembly of NATO consists of 281 delegates from 32 NATO member states. Each delegation is created based on the population of a state and its parliament.

Delegates are nominated by parliaments in their seats.

In addition, delegates from nine associate countries, four of the Mediterranean associate countries, and eight parliamentary observers participating in the activities are part of the Assembly, bringing the total number of delegates to 362.

Associate members may participate in almost all activities of committees and subcommittees and in plenary sessions.

They can introduce resolutions and amendments to the resolutions.

They may also serve as associate special rapportees on committees to represent their positions on the REPORTS of the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.

However, they are not allowed to vote on reports, resolutions or assembly leadership, nor contribute to its budget.

Kosovo state officials have repeatedly expressed their intention to become part of NATO.

Kosovo's Prime Minister Albin Kurti mentioned that he intends to join NATO's Partnership for Peace program.

The United States has supported Kosovo's decision, though it has warned that all alliance countries need to join such a membership.

Of the 32 NATO member states, Kosovo as an independent country has recognized 28 of them, while four (Greece, Romania, Slovakia and Spain) have not yet.

Partnership for Peace is a NATO program aimed at building trust between NATO member states and other countries in Europe.

Currently, NATO is present in Kosovo through its mission, KFOR. /REL
