ANKARA (AA) - Türkiye is ready to lend support to the dialogue process between Kosovo and Serbia for regional peace if requested, President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Friday.
"Türkiye is ready to provide all kinds of support for the peace and stability of our region and to make the necessary contribution if requested by the parties," Erdogan said at a news conference with Kosovar Prime Minister Albin Kurti in Istanbul.
Erdogan added: "We hope that the dialogue process with Serbia will result in a way that ensures the region's lasting peace and stability."
Türkiye continued joint efforts to ensure that Kosovo reaches the position it deserves in the international arena, Erdogan said, adding: "In this regard, we support Kosovo's vision to join NATO, the Council of Europe, and the EU."
The president also said he asked Kurti to increase cooperation with Türkiye against the activities of the Fetullah Terrorist Organization (FETO) -- the group behind the 2016 coup attempt in Türkiye -- in Kosovo.
