S-3506 : Still Just a Bill

The Kosovo Defense Cooperation Enhancement Act, also known as S. 3506, proposes the following changes to existing legislation regarding the training of Eastern European national security forces:

• Expansion of Training Eligibility: The bill amends Section 1251 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 to include the Republic of Kosovo as a participant in multilateral exercise training programs.
• Extension of Program Duration: The bill extends the authorization for these training programs from December 31, 2024, to December 31, 2026.

In essence, this bill aims to broaden and prolong U.S. support for security cooperation with Eastern European nations by specifically including Kosovo in training initiatives and extending the timeline for these activities.
