§ Mr. MaplesTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what is the number of UN personnel earmarked for the UN civilian administration in Kosovo; how many UN personnel have been recruited for the UN civilian administration in Kosovo; and how many UN personnel earmarked for the UN civilian administration in Kosovo have already been deployed. [90128]
§ Mr. Tony LloydThe United Nations is planning to deploy 3,200 international police personnel to Kosovo and has received pledges for 2,400 officers. The UN is not yet in a position to provide detailed information on its overall staffing requirements for the Interim Civil Administration or on the number of personnel so far recruited. It is still in the process of identifying and recruiting qualified personnel from within the UN itself, from other international organisations and from member states. As of 5 July, the UN had 257 staff on the ground in Kosovo.
