NATO willing to intervene if there is violence in Kosovo

US Admiral James Foggo, Commander of the Allied Joint Force Command in Naples, has said that about 4,000 NATO soldiers are ready for everything.

I see no threat to the integrity of Kosovo”, Foggo said during a press conference at KFOR military base Nothing Hill in the vicinity of Leposaviqi.

“KFOR is very strong and we do not see any problems in the near or distant future”, he said.

Asked by journalists about continuing media writings for Kosovo's partition options, he has said that “these are political questions that must be resolved through the Pristina-Belgrade dialogue”.

Admiral Foggo has said discussions in Belgrade could also bring street protests, but he has urged all that even in the event of discontent, they can be expressed in a democratic manner.

Each time there is discussion about political solutions to problems in the Balkans, there is potential for unrest. And therefore we are aware that this is an important time, that there are many discussions beyond Kosovo's borders, as I said between Pristina and Belgrade, political leaders trying to resolve some difficult questions”, he stressed, broadcast reality.

“Into democracy, not all agree, some people express their differences in the street, I would recommend that they not do so, or if they do so, as in any civilized democracy, this thing be done peacefully. We will be here to support the Kosovo institutions, which preserve security, this month and other months of the year”, the American Admiral has said.

KFOR's multinational force in Kosovo has peacekeeping missions. KFOR's mission stems from Security Council Resolution 1244 and the Kumanovo Military Technical Agreement.
