KFOR troops movement on the road through Kosovo

On Thursday the 20th of November, a convoy of KFOR vehicles belonging to the German/Austrian Battalion will move during the morning hours through Kosovo, from Urosevac/Ferizaj to Prizren. This movement is not in response to, or in preparation for, any current situation either on-going or expected within Kosovo.

 

Next week, the German/Austrian Battalion, temporary deployed to Kosovo, will conduct operations in Prizren and Orahovac municipalities taking part in a routinely scheduled operational rehearsal.

The operational rehearsals are to ensure NATO troops are well trained and familiar with the Kosovo environment.

During the past week the Operational Reserve Force Battalion operated in Kamenica/Dardana municipality.

The KFOR troops will try to minimize any setback that will occur. It is asked that everyone be patient to avoid any incidents.
