KFOR in mine awareness program "Children are the most endangered category, because they are shepherding in the fields that were once battlegrounds,” spokesman for the Czech-Slovak KFOR battalion Mihal Prejzek told CTK news agency. "Two Czech specialists will visit twelve schools in Kosovo, based on the map of the most (mine, UXO) contaminated areas. The area of Czech-Slovak battalion will be divided into four risk zones. The Czech soldiers will lecture even the first graders about the dangers of the unexploded ordnance, or UXO, and landmines. Their teaching method includes showing pictures of dangerous objects the children may encounter outdoors, while the second part includes fun competitions, through which children are warned about the grim consequences of landmine injuries. "We choose five children to compete in the shoelace competition. The one who wins has to go into the second round and then to do the same thing with one hand. Then they realize that it is not easy at all,” Jan Hundi, one of the Czech experts said. The Czech Army lauds this program as one of its most successful campaigns in the military-civilian cooperation.
