An extraordinary joint meeting of Foreign and Defence Ministers of the North Atlantic Council (NAC) was held on 18 June at NATO HQ in Brussels. Ministers welcomed the ongoing withdrawal of Yugoslav security forces and the speedy deployment of KFOR.
On 19 June, the NAC approved the arrangements for Russian participation in KFOR negotiated between the US and Russian authorities in Helsinki.
Following SACEUR's confirmation that all Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) and Serb security forces had withdrawn from Kosovo in conformity with the Military Technical Agreement, NATO Secretary General, Dr Javier Solana, decided on 20 June to terminate Phases I and II of the Phased Air Campaign as well as the Limited Air Response. On the same day, the NAC noted an Undertaking on Demilitarisation and Transformation by the UCK.
In the meantime KFOR continues its deployment into Kosovo and is now working alongside the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). KFOR's primary role is to provide a secure environment for the rebuilding of Kosovo. However, in the early stages, until civil authorities or international agencies can take over, immediate support will be necessary for assistance with emergency humanitarian aid, public security, civil administration and essential infrastructure repairs.
