NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte stated that NATO as an organization is not involved in the ongoing air campaign against the Iranian regime, emphasizing that the alliance’s focus in Kosovo remains maintaining a safe environment for all citizens.
According to Rutte, KFOR continues to fulfill its mandate to contribute to a calm and secure environment for all residents of Kosovo, in accordance with UN Security Council Resolution 1244 (1999).
The NATO mission in Kosovo operates impartially and in close coordination with the Kosovo Police and the European Union Rule of Law Mission (EULEX), which are responsible for security in the country.
Meanwhile, the United States continues to play a key role in supporting sustainable security in Kosovo and regional stability, within the framework of the NATO-led mission, KFOR. Currently, the U.S. has around 600 troops deployed in Kosovo under KFOR, leading the Regional Command East (RC-East). This command contributes to the daily mission activities through patrols, military exercises, meetings with local community representatives, and support for reconstruction and economic development projects.
