KFOR: Kosovo secure but ready to intervene if there are tensions and protests

During an online conversation with several local journalists, the Italian general was declared on the most current security issues in Kosovo.

Federic said he sees no danger to security here due to statements from Belgrade that if compromise agreements with Pristina are not reached, then there is danger of frozen conflict.

As an example, Serbian officials take over the Nagorno-Karabah region, for which Armenia and Azerbaijan have been fighting for months.

And according to the information we have we don't see any change in security in Kosovo. There are no indications of a change in security situation. However, there is a permanent presence of KFOR troops in the north in every case and we will constantly monitor the situation. But I repeat: We see no change in security issues, including north”, KFOR Commander added.

As for the possibility of any destabilisation of the situation as a result of surrender to the Special Court in The Hague of former KLA Iriders, Federic says they are following the situation with vigilance.

We don't have any indicators that indicate the situation will change. We are convinced that everyone will behave moderately. KFOR is not involved in the Special Court. That's a whole thing out of our reach. KFOR made no investigations. However, we are following the situation and are attentive. We're willing to intervene if there are tensions and protests”.

During the online interview, the commander spoke of other issues, such as developments in the Decani Monastery, where a deal was reached for the trip to Plav that would avoid the protected area around the Orthodox shrine a few weeks ago.
