State Secretary with the Ministry of Kosovoand Metohija Oliver Ivanovic stated on Sunday evening that the partial opening of the Brnjak administrative crossing is a good sign which shows that KFOR is aware of the gravity of the situation. “This move could indicate KFOR's return into the framework of the mandate that stems from United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244,” Ivanovic told Tanjug. He believes that by such moves, KFOR can create a stable security situation and a favorable atmosphere for a political dialogue. “KFOR should be unbiased since that is the only way it can be a major peacekeeping factor in this area,” Ivanovic said.
