PRISTINA - Major General Enrico Barduani, Commander of the NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR), met today (29 April 2025) in Belgrade with the Chief of General Staff of the Serbian Armed Forces, General Milan Mojsilović, following their last meeting held in October 2024.
They shared views on the security situation and took stock of their respective efforts. “We have a long-standing collaboration with the Serbian Armed Forces and I stand fully committed to building upon this throughout the rest of my tenure; continued cooperation, dialogue and information sharing are mutually beneficial and are key to regional stability,” the KFOR Commander pointed out.
Major General Barduani also met the diplomatic representatives of France (Pierre Cochard), Germany (Carsten Meyer-Wiefhousen), Italy (Luca Gori), the United Kingdom (Edward Ferguson) and the United States of America (Alexander Titolo) to Serbia at a meeting of the QUINT Group, which the Head of the EU Delegation to Serbia (Ambassador Emanuele Giaufret) also attended. He updated them on KFOR’s activities and on the mission’s resolute cooperation with the International Community, including with regards to steadfast support for the EU-facilitated dialogue for the normalisation of relations between Belgrade and Pristina.
These meetings were part of the KFOR Commander’s regular interactions with his main counterparts across the Western Balkans region.
KFOR continues to implement its mandate - based on UN Security Council Resolution 1244 of 1999 - to contribute to a safe and secure environment for all people and communities living in Kosovo and freedom of movement, at all times and impartially. KFOR works in close coordination with the Kosovo Police and the European Union Mission on Rule of Law in Kosovo (EULEX), in their respective roles as security responders.
