NATO își reduce prezența în două locații sensibile din Kosovo unde au avut loc confruntări între kosovari și sârbi

NATO's KFOR mission in Kosovo is reducing its presence in sensitive areas for the first time since the late 1990s conflict. This includes a Serbian Orthodox monastery and a bridge in Mitrovica. KFOR stated that the reduction is due to improved security conditions, while maintaining a 24/7 presence at the monastery. The transition at the bridge, a symbol of ethnic division, will be gradual and based on the situation on the ground. Local Serbian political leaders criticized the reduction and called for discussions to maintain military presence. Kosovo declared independence in 2008, which Serbia has not recognized.
