France to transform its Kosovo force
French Prime Minister Francois Fillon said that France will seek to transform the KFOR troops that are keeping peace in Kosovo into a “reassurance force”.
Fillon said that such transformation needs to occur quickly.
Fillon comments came during a parliamentary debate on the French troop reduction in Kosovo, Chad, Central African Republic and Ivory Coast.
French Prime Minister did not specify whether French will pull out of Kosovo all together.
France has 1,800 soldiers in Kosovo and 146 civilians working with the EUs EULEX mission.
The French parliament and Senate should state their view on the extension of military missions abroad by the end of the day.
Earlier this month, NATO expressed willingness to redraft the military agreement they made with Serbia in 1999 that governs NATOs presence in the region.
Yesterday, Serbian and Danish Defense Ministries announced that they will continue their successful cooperation in the field of civilian military relations.
In 2009, Denmark will provide assistance to the development of the search and rescue service in Serbia and realization of a project for the specialization of redundant military staff.

YES a indipendent country does not need foreign troops
UNE,
You mean France is pulling out because of 1244 not being respected. In the end the Serbian law will govern all over Kosovo. This is called “international law”.
They are pulling out on time, the French are tricky, they have done it before.
You’re right Veljkovic…
They’ll stick around until those criminals in KSF start shooting
Looks like KSF is ready to absorb more duties than earlier thought.
Looks like a transition is set for Albania to enter Kosovo perhaps? They will be part of NATO! I’m sure they’ll be more than happy to relieve some of their fellow members.
Furthermore, Kosovo’s army seems to be set to take over more duties than earlier expected.
NATO has shown on numerous occasions that it is either unwilling, or completely incompetent when it comes to security in KosovO
Kosovo is Serbian.
The Serbian security forces need to move in and restore law and order to this narco terrorist state!
The French President is an attention seeker, he wants to be seen as a big player on the world stage, if things are quiet in Kosovo he will loose interest and withdraw funds and troops, probably send them to Congo or anywhere else that Obama asks him to.
The French should stay with cooking, even if they have to fight they pay the Legion to do their dirty work for them!
Une has presented us with his informed opinion again. On B92 he said he was a surgeon in training when offering his “expert” opinion why this couldnt’ve taken place there.
What can’t he do???
surgeon in training hhhmmmm
