The White House has released the annual War Powers report on deployments of the United States Armed Forces equipped for combat.
In the framework of this report, the USA has also published a part about the Republic of Kosovo.
The report states that the United States continues to contribute to Kosovo led by the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in cooperation with local authorities, bilateral partners and international institutions, to prevent renewed hostilities in the country.
According to the White House, approximately 591 United States military personnel are among the approximately 3,800 KFOR personnel in Kosovo. KFOR troops, who are from 27 countries of the world, are tasked with providing a safe environment and freedom of movement for all communities in Kosovo.
Their mandate stems from United Nations Security Council resolution 1244, adopted on June 10, 1999, one day after the signing of the Kumanovo Technical Agreement.
This agreement provided for the withdrawal of all Serbian forces from Kosovo and the entry of international peacekeeping troops. It was signed between KFOR and the authorities of the former Yugoslavia, ending NATO bombing of Serbian targets. The number of KFOR soldiers in Kosovo has decreased over the years, after the improvement of the situation in the north. The head of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, has announced that KFOR troops will be increased so that the tense situation in the north of Kosovo calms down.
