Kayar declined to comment on whether Serbia's president has asked KFOR troops to focus on the Iber River bridge. KFOR commander said that they and no one else decide for the activities of KFOR's military mission.
He also spoke of graphs in northern Kosovo and confirmed that in case of security risk, KFOR would act and generate evidence for that. “Co-operation with the Kosovo Police is fair and good enough and they co-ordinate activity on the ground as well as some joint patrol”, Kayari said.
According to him, KFOR has its resources and is carefully monitoring the situation at the administrative border, and has not noticed anything special, has not tallied any unusual activity.
As far as the potential threat of war in Kosovo is concerned, KFOR commander has been clear.
The simplest response is no. I think war is not relevant, I believe. KFOR has not seen any indication of such an event. There's no threat to war in this part, NATO and KFOR are here”.
“NATO for a relatively short time can add military troops and additional means if there is a need for it, but it is not good to talk about war, this we have discussed with Prime Minister Kurti”, Kayari said.
Commander Kayari said that the KSF and NATO have an agreement on KSF activity in northern Kosovo and that they can't go there without KFOR commander's consent. According to him it was before, and they all agreed to it.
