Kosovo has bought a batch of Turkish-made Bayraktar drones, Prime Minister Albin Kurti said on July 16 as the Balkan country faces unrest in the north where ethnic Serbs refuse to recognize Pristina authorities. The security spending is making the country safer, Kurti said in a Facebook post showing him in front of a drone with his defense minister. He did not mention how much the drones cost or their purpose. Kurti said his government had in the last two years raised troop numbers by 80 percent and the defense budget by more than 100 percent.
