Kosovo signed a defence agreement with Croatia and Albania, calling for joint responses to common security challenges; the pact has drawn a furious response from Serbia, which called it a threatening move

Prime Minister Kurti affirmed that more than 1 billion euros will be allocated for the Kosovo Security Force in a possible new term of government

The country has joined the global donors of the International Development Association, an arm of the World Bank that supports the world's poorest nations
