The new KFOR commander, Major General Franco Federicci, said today that the international military mission will take care of the protection of Serbs in Kosovo and Metohija and that patrols are organized on a daily basis, not only in the north, but in the entire territory.

Federicci said this during an online conference held for several Pristina media, and added that he does not expect tensions should there be new arrests in connection with the Specialist Chambers (special court for KLA crimes).

"At the moment, the situation is good, we have no indicators that the situation could change. KFOR is not involved in the work of the Specialist Chambers, it is completely outside our mandate, but we are certainly monitoring the situation and we are ready to intervene if there are tensions or protests due to the accusations," he said, Kosovo Online is reporting.

Asked what he thinks about the dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, Federicci said that KFOR does not interfere in the implementation of the things agreed in the dialogue.

He did not wish to comment on whether the fact that Belgrade is buying weapons from Russia poses a threat to Pristina, and reiterated that NATO and Serbia are close partners, that Serbia has good relations with NATO and that this has no influence on the KFOR mission.

Speaking about a possible conflict in northern Kosovo, he said there were no indications that anything had changed around the security situation.

At the same time, Federicci said that it was an absolutely good thing to increase the number of soldiers in the KFOR mission coming from the countries of the region - Croatia, Albania and North Macedonia.
