Kosovo issue to be discussed at NATO summit

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen says the situation in northern Kosovo and KFOR’s role will be one of the key topics of the NATO defence ministers’ meeting this week.

The summit will be held in Brussels on Wednesday and Thursday of this week.

“We will discuss the developments in Kosovo. We have seen how quickly tensions can increase and how important the role of the NATO mission is,” Rasmussen stated in Brussels on Monday, Voice of America has reported.

The NATO secretary general stressed that KFOR’s role in Kosovo was to guarantee security for all citizens of Kosovo regardless of their ethnicity, and underlined that the mission would continue to act in the same manner – determined, careful, unbiased and in keeping with its mandate.
