Mr. Speaker, yesterday the defence minister admitted he did not know anything about the condition of our troops in Kosovo or in Macedonia. For the information of the minister, Macedonia is only 10 kilometres away from the war zone in Kosovo. He laughed and said he did not believe what he heard.
We all want to protect the lives of innocent Kosovars but we also want to protect the lives of our troops. Why would the minister want to send our troops into harm's way and not give them the tools they need to protect themselves?
