NATO Secretary General, Lord Robertson, accompanied by the Ambassadors from each of the Alliance's 19 member countries, went on what was the third visit of the North Atlantic Council -NATO's top decision making body- to the Balkans on 3-4 April. This time, their trip took them to the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia1 and Kosovo.
Before reaching the Balkans, they first stopped off at the headquarters of Allied Forces South Europe (AFSOUTH) in Naples, which has the command authority for NATO-led forces in Bosnia and Herzegovina (SFOR) and in Kosovo (KFOR) (see NATO Update 18-24 October 2000). They then travelled to the Macedonian capital, Skopje, to meet with President Trajkovski, Prime Minister Georgievski, Defence Minister Paunovski, the Minister of the Interior Mrs Dimovska and other government representatives.
The following day, they flew to Pristina in Kosovo, where they held a series of meetings with representatives from the UN and KFOR. Among their many meetings was one with the Special Representative to the Secretary-General of the UN to Kosovo, Mr Hans Haekkerup, the Commander of KFOR, Lt. Gen. Cabigiosu and General Ceku, Commander of the Kosovo Protection Corps.
The Secretary General and the members of the North Atlantic Council first travelled to the Balkans in October 1999 (see NATO Update 20-26 October 1999) and then went on a second trip in July 2000 (see NATO Update 12-18 July 2000).
