NATO: Kosovo not ready for further troop reduction

NATO does not think Kosovo is sufficiently safe for NATO to reduce its forces there.

At NATO's head quarters in Brussels, Admiral Giampaolo Di Paola — chair of the Military Committee of NATO — said that "at this stage, it didn't feel that the conditions were there for SACEUR to make a recommendation to move forward (on the reduction). This time will come in the not very distant future."

NATO currently has some 10,000 troops in Kosovo.
