Starting from May 21st until June 2nd, Kosovo will welcome the largest international military exercise in the Balkan region.
“Defender Europe 2023” will validate the capacities of two regiments of the Kosovo Security Force and will demonstrate the degree of military interaction of the KSF with forces of partner states.
This way, the KSF will once more show that it is ready to contribute in every NATO mission.
The opening ceremony of this military exercise will be held on Sunday, with Kosovo state leaders and U.S. officials being present in the “Skanderbeg” square in Pristina.
Defender 23 is a U.S.-European Command directed annual, multi-national, joint exercise designed to build readiness and interoperability between the United States, NATO and Partner countries.
Approximately 9,000 U.S troops and about 17,000 troops from 26 allied and partner nations will participate in this military exercise.
