Mojsilovic meets with Romano

BELGRADE - Serbian Armed Forces (SAF) Chief of General Staff Gen Milan Mojsilovic spoke with the chief of the NATO Military Liaison Office in Belgrade, Brig Gen Giampiero Romano, on Tuesday about the security situation in the region, the Office's activities and overall SAF-NATO relations, with particular emphasis on cooperation with KFOR.

Mojsilovic said a partnership with NATO and a professional relationship with the alliance helped to build peace and stability in the region, and noted that the SAF was committed to continue cooperation in all fields of mutual interest and that cooperation mechanisms established within the Partnership for Peace Programme made that possible, the Serbian Ministry of Defence said in a statement.

Speaking about the security situation in Kosovo-Metohija, Mojsilovic said the presence of a mission of international forces was crucial for protection of the Serbian national, cultural, historical and religious heritage in the province.

He expressed the confidence that KFOR, as the only legitimate security actor in Kosovo-Metohija, would act in an unbiased and professional manner in all situations in line with UN SC Resolution 1244.
