UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron, on his inaugural visit to Kosovo, reaffirmed the importance of preserving peace and stability in the Western Balkans. He pledged £45 million ($57 million) to enhance security in the region during talks with Kosovar leaders, including counterpart Donika Gervalla-Schwarz. Cameron emphasized the significance of stability in the Western Balkans as a crucial investment aligned with Britain’s national interests. Tensions persist between Kosovo and Serbia since the 1990s, and Cameron stressed the need for peaceful coexistence. The UK has stationed troops in Kosovo as part of the NATO-led KFOR peacekeeping mission, and Cameron expressed support for Kosovo’s independence and sovereignty in ongoing EU-mediated talks with Serbia.
