The work for the realization of the project for the modernization of the airbase in Kuçova has started this Thursday, which will be turned into a NATO airbase.

The Minister of Defense Niko Peleshi said during his speech the selection of Albania is an opportunity to take more responsibility while emphasizing that they would not be here without the help of allies. 

"Today we are transforming the works ceremony. I want to thank the Prime Minister for his attention to this project. We are ready to lay the foundation stone for the start of works. We would not be here without the help of our allies. This project came to life three years ago when they officially received the news of this project. Selecting Albania is an opportunity to take on more responsibilities. This development comes at a turbulent period in the eastern borders of the alliance", said Peleshi.
