The Ministry of Defense of Kosovo has denied the claim made by the German media outlet, calling it disinformation<\/a>.<\/p>\n \"This news, circulated by several websites and television channels, is disinformation spread by external actors aiming to destabilize the country and the Western Balkans,\" the Ministry of Defense stated. According to them, there is continuous coordination with the U.S. for every decision, as well as weekly communication with KFOR.<\/p>\n KFOR has also reacted to this matter.<\/p>\n \"Our commitment to stability across the Western Balkans remains unwavering. KFOR continues to implement its mandate\u2014based on United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 of 1999\u2014to contribute to a safe and secure environment for all people and communities living in Kosovo and to ensure freedom of movement, at all times, impartially, and in close coordination with the Kosovo Police and the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo, in their respective roles as security responders. The United States continues to play a fundamental role within KFOR through its long-standing contribution, which currently amounts to over 600 troops,\" KFOR stated.<\/p>\n NATO intervened in 1999 to end the war in Kosovo. After the Rambouillet Conference<\/a> failed to yield any results, a bombing<\/a>campaign was launched against Serbian military and police targets, lasting 78 days. Serbia was forced to withdraw from Kosovo following the Kumanovo Agreement<\/a> on June 9, 1999. After Serbia's withdrawal, in June 1999, NATO deployed its peacekeeping mission, KFOR. The United States has played a key role in Kosovo\u2019s liberation and in maintaining peace, with its base in Bondsteel.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/sbunker.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/12345-300x144.png\")
