NATO's tasks in partially recognized Kosovo have been reduced to educating and training the armed forces of Pristina. Russian Ambassador to Serbia Alexander Botsan-Kharchenko says KFOR's main tasks are dictated by NATO and the collective West.

KFOR "prepares the power structures of the Kosovo Albanians, helps to form an army, develop and establish Pristine's control over the north of Kosovo," he says. Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić said earlier that the NATO mission in the partially recognized Republic of Kosovo (KFOR) did not protect the Kosovo Serbs contrary to these guarantees.
