NATO: Pristina doesn't need our permission to deploy police

NATO officials said this when asked whether the authorities in Pristina had to seek KFOR's consent before sending special forces of the Kosovo police ROSU with the aim of stopping a train traveling from central Serbia to Kosovska Mitrovica in northern Kosovo.

That was also the answer to the question of whether NATO had made it clear with a written document, as part of the Brussels Agreement between Belgrade and Pristina, that Kosovo's authorities must seek the consent of KFOR to deploy the police, and not just the Kosovo Security Force in the Serb-populated north.

According to Beta, "both NATO and Serbian officials have repeatedly made it known that the authorities in Pristina are under obligation to ask for KFOR's approval for their intention to send the Kosovo Security Force to the north."

The KFOR command in Pristina previously said that it was not informed about the ROSU unit's deployment on January 14, and that "in accordance with the current contracts and the mandate of KFOR (stemming from UN Resolution 1244 from 1999), Kosovo's institutions are not under obligation to inform KFOR about ROSU's deployment in northern Kosovo."

The KFOR command also said that "a more detailed explanation" should be sought from the NATO headquarters in Brussels.
