KFOR will coordinate with the Kosovo Police on the possibility of further reducing the police presence in municipal facilities in the north of Kosovo.
But the NATO peacekeeping mission made it clear that the removal of the policemen from there, according to the recently reached agreement, is the responsibility of the Kosovo institutions. Prime Minister Albin Kurti has stated that the police will make their own decisions on this issue
Until now, Kosovo has reduced the police presence in these areas by 25% based on the agreement reached between Deputy Prime Minister Besnik Bislim and the European Union envoy for dialogue, Miroslav Lajçak. The agreement stipulates that the Kosovo Police regularly conduct joint security assessments with EULEX and with KFOR as appropriate, to assess the possibility of further reducing the police presence there.
Asked by Express if decisions of this nature of coordination should be made only by the police, KFOR replied with the explanation that for this, only the institutions of Kosovo are responsible, despite the fact that its units, as it says, remain fully equipped and ready to face any situation.
His statement states that the mission is continuing to implement its mandate received from the UN "in an impartial manner to ensure a safe environment and freedom of movement for all communities in Kosovo".
