Over the last few weeks, KFOR has made great strides in improving the overall security situation in Kosovo. Considerable effort has been expended to safeguard lives, to protect property, and to bring law and order to the Province. This has been achieved through very proactive measures, such as constant patrolling, including joint patrols with Russian troops, the detention of perpetrators of violence, and the confiscation of unauthorised weapons by KFOR.

KFOR has also been providing high level support to the UN Interim Administration in Kosovo, UNMIK, and to the Kosovo Transitional Council, recently set up by the Special Representative to the UN Secretary General (UN SRSG), Dr. Bernard Kouchner. The Transitional Council has representatives from all the major groups in Kosovo, and is now working hard to push forward a legitimate Civil Administration in the Province.

As the security situation improves, KFOR has been able to start handing over some of its activity to the developing Civil Administration. For example, the UN International Police (UNIP) has taken over the policing of Pristina from KFOR, and is carrying out joint patrols with KFOR in other areas. They have opened their first detention centre and their first police stations. UNMIK has also appointed interim Judges and Prosecutors, to process those persons detained by KFOR and UNIP.

Following the completion of the UCK's Demilitarisation on 20th September 1999, the UN SRSG issued a directive for the establishment of a new Kosovo Protection Force (TMK). This will have 3,000 members and 2,000 reserves, and will begin working for UNMIK in areas of de-mining, disaster response, and humanitarian functions, under the direction of COMKFOR. However, it will have no political role, and no role in law enforcement.
