Ukaj: With the arrival of KFOR in Kosovo, peace and security were established

Political scientist from Pristina, Fidan Ukaj, stated that with the signing of the Military-Technical Agreement in Kumanovo 25 years ago, Slobodan Milosevic's regime was removed from Kosovo and peace and security were established.

"With the Kumanovo Agreement, Milosevic's regime was permanently removed from Kosovo, and the KFOR mission was established. Nearly 36 countries sent their soldiers to Kosovo as part of KFOR, and as a result, peace and security were established. With the establishment of the KFOR mission, the genocide that was present in Kosovo under Milosevic's regime was eliminated once and for all," Ukaj said to Kosovo Online.

He stated that KFOR forces have played a very important role in securing Kosovo from June 11, 1999, to the present day, and that the reduction in their numbers over the years is a result of creating stable security conditions.

"With the formation of Kosovo's institutions after declaring independence on February 17, 2008, institutions such as the police and the Kosovo Security Force were consolidated and strengthened, and their capacity increased. It has been shown that KFOR and NATO troops have contributed to its liberation, creating peace and security for all citizens," Ukaj concluded.
