Personnel, equipment and vehicles from the United Kingdom’s 1st Battalion, The Rifles, have arrived in Kosovo as part of a planned and routine deployment under KFOR’s Strategic Reserve Force.

According to KFOR, over the next six weeks, members of the British battalion will conduct a series of training activities as part of the United Kingdom’s continued contribution to the NATO-led KFOR mission.

KFOR emphasized that the deployment of the British battalion does not represent a change to the mission’s mandate and is not part of the ongoing process to optimize KFOR’s positioning.

“KFOR continues to contribute to maintaining a safe and secure environment for all people living in Kosovo, as well as ensuring freedom of movement,” KFOR said in a statement.
