At the International Security Conference “20 years of freedom: A vision of lasting peace”, Clark has recalled a telephone conversation with the former NATO secretary.
I remember this day, June 12th. It started with a call at 0100 a.m. from Javier Solana, who told me: What are we gonna do? ) I said, Secretary General, we're sending KFOR in the morning. On June 12th, KFOR has started with moves in Kosovo from its positions in Macedonia. I was very proud of the forces that entered. They entered armed, but they came here to create peace. They haven't fought, they haven't had any difficulties, even though there have been several mines. By 1600 with General Jackson, we have arrived in Kosovo. He went to the airport and welcomed a Russian general, and the next morning I arrived at Skopje Airport, where we met with General Jackson”, General Clark said.
