Stressing that agreement, KFOR Commander Enrico Bardonini said he has authority over Kosovo's airspace.
“The KSF can only be deployed north of Kosovo with the initial consent of KFOR commander. And I welcome the continued fulfillment of this commitment on the part of Kosovo, which is important for stability and an important issue of trust between NATO and Kosovo. Separately, according to UN Security Council Resolution 1244, KFOR commander maintains primary authority over Kosovo airspace. That means I have the authority to give or deny any access to Kosovo airspace”, Bardon said in an interview for Kosovo Online, broadcast Periscope.
“Linked to specific fears, drone operators, KFOR has approved a restricted permanent zone in the central-South part of Kosovo, where KFOR can conduct the training needed for their fear operators without interrupting air traffic. Commercial air traffic and, of course, KFOR”, he said.
Today KFOR gave KFOR permission to go north for humanitarian reasons since it needed the assistant of divers of this force to search for the lifeless body of a 33-year-old man who allegedly drowned on Lake Wyman. /Periscopi
