31/10/14

The commander of the Kosovo Force (KFOR), division general Francesco Paolo Figliuolo, met yesterday at the headquarters of the multinational command of the NATO force the head of the OSCE mission in Kosovo (Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe), Ambassador Jean -Claude Schlumberger.

During the meeting both the current socio-political and security situation in Kosovo and the recent activities of the international organization in the region were discussed.

The KFOR commander highlighted the key role played by the OSCE in supporting ongoing dialogue between central and local institutions. The daily commitment of the OSCE is in fact focused on monitoring and supporting processes that foster full democratic development within local institutions, in order to overcome differences and contribute to the strengthening of trust between the different municipalities.

The collaboration between KFOR and OSCE has always been very fruitful. KFOR has in fact supported, in close coordination with the Kosovar police and EULEX, the activities of the OSCE during the last municipal elections and ensured, thanks to the creation of the necessary security conditions, the proper conduct without major incidents.
