NATO ministers to discuss Kosovo mission

Foreign ministers of NATO member states will discuss reduction of the mission in Kosovo and Metohija in Brussels today. They will discuss the possibility of reducing the number of KFOR troops in Kosovo from the current 10,000 to 5,000.

The first step in transforming KFOR into a smaller and more mobile discouragement force has already been carried out successfully, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said at a news conference in Brussels, ahead of the ministerial meeting.
