Lord Hylton

asked Her Majesty's Government:

What immediate steps are being taken through NATO to increase the current strength of KFOR in Kosovo from some 23,000 to the planned total of 55,000 troops. [HL3411]

Lord Gilbert

As at 6 July, there were almost 39,000 troops under General Jackson's command, some 29,000 of which are based in Kosovo.

The Secretary General of NATO has encouraged all countries who have offered to provide troops for KFOR to complete their deployments as soon as possible.
