Novosti misinforms about the trilateral meeting in Shkodra

The Novosti portal published an article about the trilateral Albania-Kosovo-Croatia meeting on military cooperation, misinforming that the meeting of representatives of the defense ministries of these countries was oriented against the Serbs.

As Novosti writes:

Trilateral meeting AGAINST SERBS began in Shkoder: Albania, Pristina and Croatia for military cooperation

Analysis:

The meeting being held today in Albania is just part of the implementation of The trilateral declaration on cooperation in the field of defense, signed in 2025 in Tirana, which is about strengthening military cooperation, regional security and there is no indication that the meeting is oriented against Serbs, as the Novosti portal misinforms.

No part of the document mentions that the purpose of the agreement is directed against Serbia or any other people.

On the contrary, other media outlets have reported on the meeting without sensationalist constructions, emphasizing that this is about regular cooperation in the field of defense.

The published text of the Declaration states that Albania and Croatia participate in trilateral cooperation as members of NATO, and that the document was signed precisely to cultivate shared security obligations and interoperability.

The agreement between Albania, Croatia and Kosovo is a declaration trilateral for cooperation in the field of defense and security, focused on joint exercises, training, interoperability of armies and strengthening regional stability, where Albania and Croatia as NATO members, and Kosovo as a partner, cooperate without the intention of endangering anyone.
