NATO confirms arrival of over 130 Romanian soldiers to KFOR

The North Atlantic Alliance has announced that more than 130 additional troops from Romania arrived in Kosovo on Friday (October 13th 2023) to further reinforce the NATO Forces peacekeeping mission in Kosovo (KFOR), in addition to the two hundred British soldiers deployed earlier this month.

The deployment of these additional troops comes after the violent attack on the Kosovo Police on 24 September and increasing tensions in the region. These arrangements are a careful step to ensure that KFOR has the forces it needs to fulfil its UN mandate to maintain a safe and secure environment and freedom of movement for all people in Kosovo. They are based on a request by NATO Allied Supreme Commander for Europe and approved by the Allieds at the North Atlantic Council”, the NATO report said.

KFOR currently consists of over 4,500 troops contributed by 27 NATO allies and partners.
