KFOR commander: No military solution for north

"But this does not mean the KSF will change its role, which concerns security in the domain of civil protection, i.e. rescue in cases of humanitarian and natural disasters. This will remain unchanged for now.."

"But under UN Security Council Resolution 1244 the Albanian army would have to get my consent to enter Kosovo, so I see no danger there,"

"He reiterated that under Resolution 1244, KFOR is still tasked with maintaining security "in an impartial and independent manner" and will continue to operate like this. "

and, regarding illegal firewood theft of Albanians from Kosovo in Serbia,

"This is not a border but an administrative line, so the problem must be solved politically. It must be resolved by Belgrade and Priština"

Some interesting points the KFOR commander said, don't you think?

From Kosovo's NATO masters themselves, it's no border but an administrative line.

My exact same thoughts, Commissioner. Especially,

"This [between Kosovo and the rest of Serbia] is not a border but an administrative line, so the problem must be solved politically. It must be resolved by Belgrade and Priština," said Halbauer.

It is not a border. Kosovo and Serbia are one country.

Why is it surprising? All the things he said are based on UNSC 1244 resolution which is still valid and defines what Kosovo is.
