In recent days, the intervention of KFOR has been requested several times to extinguish the fire. The state of Kosovo itself does not have any helicopters to respond to these fires. In case of crises, there is no helicopter even in the field of defense, security and health. This is considered a necessity by experts in civil emergency matters. Even the Emergency Management Agency declares that Kosovo needs to be equipped with several helicopters.
In a response to KosovaPress, it was announced that the supply of helicopters was planned for three ministries, but remained a draft project due to the financial impact.
He considers it necessary for Kosovo to have such air capacities.
The head of the division for legal, public and international relations in the Emergency Management Agency, Nehat Koqinaj, declares that Kosovo needs to be equipped with several helicopters.
Minister of Defense, Ejup Maqedonci has declared for KosovaPress, that the planned phase for supply and replenishment with air capacities is the third phase from 2025 to 2028.
Kosovo has no competence and is not responsible for its airspace. In accordance with United Nations Security Council resolution 1244 and the military technical agreement of 1999, but also with current laws, the KFOR mission is responsible for the security of Kosovo's airspace.
