During his address to the students, Minister Mehaj spoke about national and regional security, with a focus on the transformation of the Kosovo Security Force (KSF) and the strategic goal of euro-Atlantic integration. Student participants at the summer program had a unique chance to interact with the Minister and to discuss some of the most pressing security-related topics that affect today not only the region but also beyond.
