HC Deb 28 June 1999 vol 334 cc5-6W
Mr. Bercow

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence what assessment he has made of the command structure of the KLA; what measures he is taking to ensure co-operation with KLA elements which are not part of the central structure; and if he will make a statement. [87301]

Mr. George Robertson

The KLA's command structure is presently based on military lines. It consists of the KLA Interim Government of Kosovo (IGOK) below which is the KLA's General Staff. The staff commands and controls the seven Operational Zones (OZ) found throughout the province. The OZs in turn command a number of KLA brigades and independent battalions.
