This exercise aimed at rehearsing KFOR personnel’s skills-set in dealing with different scenarios of stress-management and crowd and riot control (CRC), including the use of real flames, fire and Molotov-cocktails.

KFOR continues to implement its mandate- based on UN Security Council Resolution 1244 of 1999- to provide a safe and secure environment and freedom of movement for all communities living in Kosovo. KFOR is the third security responder, after the Kosovo Police and the EU Rule of Law (EULEX) mission, respectively, with whom we work in close coordination.
