Principals of the five major organisations operating in the Balkans: the UN, the EU, the OSCE, the UNHCR and NATO, met at NATO HQ on 27 February to discuss the growing tensions in the Presevo Valley. They focused on ways of co-ordinating their efforts to help reduce the number of armed incidents and to prevent a spill-over of violence in the region.
Among the measures being taken, the EU announced that it would be increasing the number of its monitors in the area from 9 to 30, that it would double its assistance to two million Euros and that ways of supporting the independent media were being considered. In addition, NATO Secretary General, Lord Robertson, explained that the Supreme Allied Commander, Europe, (SACEUR) is currently putting measures into place to reinforce existing KFOR capabilities to monitor the border between Kosovo and the Presevo Valley and that he had appointed a personal Representative in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia to work on this issue.
The question of Southern Serbia and acts of violence being perpetrated by ethnic Albanian extremists against the Serb population in the Ground Safety Zone were also raised by NATO Foreign Ministers during their extraordinary meeting on the same day. They urged Belgrade to put confidence building measures into place and called on the ethnic Albanians extremists to cease their acts of violence, encouraging both Serb and ethnic Albanian leaders to enter into direct negotiations in search of a political solution.
