Munsch, Mojsilovic discuss security situation in region, Kosovo-Metohija

BELGRADE - The commander of the NATO Joint Force Command in Naples, Adm Stuart Munsch, who is on a visit to Serbia, met with Serbian Armed Forces Chief of General Staff Gen Milan Mojsilovic on Wednesday to discuss the security situations in Kosovo-Metohija, the region and worldwide.

Mojsilovic and Munsch also exchanged views on prospects for cooperation between the Serbian Armed Forces and the Naples Command, with focus on the situation in Kosovo-Metohija, as international forces in the province are under the authority of the Command.

They said the cooperation to date had been constructive and professional and that the partnership, underway with full respect of the policy of Serbia's military neutrality, contributed to peace and stability in the region, the Ministry of Defence said in a statement.

They expressed readiness to continue the cooperation in all fields of mutual interest, above all, in those relating to development of capabilities for participation in multinational operations.

Mojsilovic presented to Munsch Serbia's positions and views on the security situation in Kosovo-Metohija as well as on the challenges, risks and threats facing Serbs in the province, as well as the entire region.

Mojsilovic noted that, in line with UNSC Resolution 1244 and all signed agreements, Serbia continued to see Kfor as the only legitimate security actor in the province and that it, therefore, expected the Naples Command to take steps to ensure a safe environment and freedom of movement to all, above all, to Serbs.
