At the NATO Parliamentary Assembly, Fatmir Mediu highlighted the importance of strict controls on foreign investments from China and Russia. He engaged in discussions with Scott W. Bray regarding the risks posed by short-term economic interests to NATO's security.

Mediu called for Western Balkan countries to expedite legislation on foreign investment controls, focusing on technology, critical infrastructure, data centers, smart city systems, and surveillance. He emphasized the need for transparency in private investments and procurement laws, including the declaration of offshore assets. Additionally, he advocated for rigorous oversight of investments linked to criminal activities, including drug trafficking and corruption, to prevent security infiltrations.
