But in these times of financial crisis, where every Euro, Dollar or Pound has more value, few NATO members have respected the 2% of the GDP obligation. In this moment, the Smart Defense enters the play, a concept that increases intelligent investments in the regional cooperation between the Southeastern Countries. This was the topic of the international conference organized in Tirana by the Albanian Parliament and the NATO Parliamentary Assembly.
“In a time of global crisis, the defense projects have never been immune. In times like these we have even more need for each other. Altogether, we will continue investing in military, economy and politics. Smart Intelligence means that the financial investments must simply become smarter”, declared the Albanian Parliament Speaker, Jozefina Topalli.
This readiness to adopt the intelligent defense concept found the support of Prime Minister Berisha, who expressed once again the determination of his government for keeping the military troops in Afghanistan.
“Albania is determined to fulfill its obligations. We will be there for as long tha NATO and the US will be there, for giving our modest contribution”, Berisha declared.
A few time ago, Albania lost a soldier in Kandahar, Afghanistan. But the political forces and the public opinion in Albania have not put in discussion Albania’s military engagement in Iraq or Afghanistan.
