The handover ceremony between the 30th and 31st KFOR commanders will take place at 11 a.m. at the KFOR mission headquarters in Camp Film City in Pristina.

The event will be presided over by Admiral George M. Wikoff, commander of NATO’s Joint Force Command Naples.

KFOR previously announced that on October 9, Ulutaş welcomed Vergori to the mission’s headquarters to introduce him to KFOR personnel and operational procedures.

Ulutaş assumed command of KFOR on October 3, 2025, beginning his second one-year term as head of the mission.

Italian Major General Roberto Vergori was appointed as the next KFOR commander in late August.

Vergori has already served in international missions, including in Kosovo and Metohija, North Macedonia, Lebanon, Libya and Afghanistan.

The new KFOR deputy commander will be Turkish Brigadier General Onur Çakıcı.
