(MENAFN) According to Gabriel Escobar, the special representative for the area at the State Department, the United States opposes any Serbian security forces returning to the breakaway province of Kosovo and has provided it with "firm security guarantees."
In accordance with United Nation Security Council Resolution 1244, Belgrade claimed over the weekend that it will request the return of up to 1,000 security forces to the province. The resolution was passed in 1999 to give NATO permission to take over Kosovo.
During an interview in Pristina, Escobar told radio Free Europe, which is supported by the United States government, “we are categorically opposed to this, we categorically reject it, we don’t support this at all.”
According to Escobar, Arma Zejneli Loxha of RFE was present. When questioned about the structure of these assurances, he claimed that the United States is a member of KFOR, the 3,700-strong NATO-led peacekeeping force in Kosovo, “I also want to say that Kosovo has very firm security guarantees from the US.”
