Gecaj: It’s good that KFOR and EULEX have preemptively reinforced their troops

Hisen Gecaj, a security expert, told Kosovo Online that elections further complicate the security situation in Kosovo, and it is good that both NATO Command and EULEX have decided to reinforce their troops on the ground to maintain peace, which is not very stable in the Balkans in general, not just in Kosovo.

According to his assessment, the situation in Kosovo, especially in the north, is quite fragile and requires such actions by these units.

"Groups ready to destabilize this region would always use the election period, and then there would be unrest that would be difficult to calm down. Therefore, this prevention is necessary, and I think everything will go smoothly," says Gecaj. He adds that citizens expect elections to always proceed peacefully, but given the current mood between the authorities and the opposition, it is possible that there could be unrest that would disturb the citizens.

"Then this would also be used externally, by other parties who would try in some way to disrupt the order and peace that currently prevails in Kosovo," assessed Gecaj.
