Czech military police now serving on mission in Kosovo

Working in conjunction with Italian Carabinieri, Czech military police officers have begun serving on an international mission in Kosovo, the Czech News Agency wrote on Saturday. The Czech officers’ task is to help stabilise the situation in a territory where ethnic unrest between Kosovo and Serbia still persists.

They are part of the international specialised unit MSU KFOR (Multinational Specialised Unit Kosovo Forces). During their time in Kosovo, the Czechs will primarily be involved in patrolling the operational area and monitoring the situation in the territory. In the event of protests, they will be called on to employ their crowd control skills, the Czech Army said on its website.
