Cancellation of the NATO meeting amid disputes over Iran, Ukraine and the budget.
NATO is reducing the level of its meetings and next year, contrary to the previous plan, the summit will not be held in Albania.
According to the AP news agency, this decision was made in the middle of tensions over "defense costs, Iran and the war in Ukraine."
Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama said on Thursday: "There is still no common position regarding the date of the meeting. It certainly won't be in 2027." He added: "In 2028, if there is a meeting, it will be in Tirana, the capital of Albania."
NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte tried to downplay the issue, saying in an interview with the AP news agency: "We are flexible about NATO meetings. "Whenever we need to, we'll have a meeting." But until about a decade ago, NATO held a summit every two years.
