With this agreement, Serbia has been forced to withdraw all its police and military forces from Kosovo.
The Kumanovo Agreement, between NATO and RFJ, signed on 9 June 1999, went into effect on 11 June 1999. Michael Jackson, KFOR's first commander in Kosovo, and former Serbian Army Chief of Staff General Nebojsa Pavkovic, Hague war crimes indictee and genocide, signed it.
Among other things in the deal was the following:
c) to leave Kosovo all personnel and organisations with military capabilities, including regular army and navy forces, armed civilians, paramilitary, air forces, national border police, reserve, military police, intelligence services, MUP, local police, special police, anti-rebelist, anti-terrorism and any group designated by KFOR.

e) was assigned a five-mile zone across the border with RFJs that dared not deploy heavy weapons and armies, except border soldiers.
The deal has been reached after the NATO bombing campaign on Serbian targets, which has lasted for 78 days, as well as after various diplomatic efforts to end the war in Kosovo, during which more than 10,000 people have been killed, about 5 thousand more missing and over 1 million displaced Albanians. Material destruction has also been massive.
On June 12th 1999, the first NATO infantry troops have landed in Kosovo, while the evacuation of Serb forces has begun.
NATO Secretary General Javier Solana, on June 10, 1999, had issued the order to prevent the bombing, and the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1244, where 37,200 KFOR soldiers from 36 states were sent.
The mission was divided into five areas of responsibility belonging to US, English, French, German and Italian KFOR.
With NATO's entry into Kosovo, the deployment of the UN organisation's provisional mission, which would manage the country for a certain period of time, has begun.
At the same time, the Kosovo Liberation Army has also been disbanded to become the Kosovo Protection Corps.
