MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR) will conduct routine military exercises in the western part of the breakaway region from September 5-7, Kosovar media reported on Monday.
The exercises will be carried out by the Western Multinational Regional Command and focus "on the unit's operational readiness procedures and preparation," the mission said in a statement cited by a Kosovar newspaper.
During the drills, KFOR soldiers and vehicles will be stationed near Krusevo village and Decan Monastery, the statement said, adding that the exercises will include both day and night ground movements and involve convoys of heavy engineering equipment.
