NATO announced KFOR troop reduction

NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said that the number of KFOR troops will be reduced to 5,000 in January 2011. He mentioned the improved overall security situation in Kosovo.

"I must stress that when KFOR finishes its transition to the appropriate level of presence, we will still have 2,000 soldiers on the ground and many more in the reserves if needed." He did not mention any time line.
