With flowers and smiling faces and banners that read "NATO", many citizens of Kosovo welcomed the first NATO peacekeeping troops, which enters Kosovo today 23 years ago.

NATO peacekeepers enter Kosovo following the 78-day North Atlantic Alliance air campaign against Serb attacks in Kosovo and Serbia.

The bombing ceased on June 10, 1999, following the adoption of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244. The resolution was a compromise of the five permanent members of the Security Council.

Based on the resolution in Kosovo, the UN Interim Administration, UNMIK, was established to administer the war-torn country for a transitional period until local capacity building and the resolution of Kosovo's status.

The first soldiers to enter Kosovo territory in 1999 were members of the Norwegian army. They were part of the nearly 50,000 peacekeeping forces from 36 countries - 30,000 of which were from NATO countries - that came to Kosovo.

The entry of international troops enabled the return to their homes of over 800,000 refugees, displaced persons inside and outside Kosovo.

More than 13,000 people have been killed since the 1998-99 war and more than 6,000 are missing.

Hundreds of Albanians killed by Kosovo have been found in mass graves in Serbia. Their bodies were allegedly carried by Serb forces in order to cover up the crimes.

Twenty-three years after entering Kosovo, the number of KFOR troops has decreased and there are currently over 3,700 troops in the country from 28 countries. / REL
