BRITISH KFOR TROOPS TO PULL OUT OF CENTRAL KOSOVO, PRISTINA "SOON"
Tanjug - March 1, 2003

Kosovska Mitrovica, 1 March: The Kfor Kosovo Force Multinational Brigade Northeast commander said that the British Kfor contingent, which is responsible for central Kosovo-Metohija and the city of Pristina, would soon leave Kosovo and hand over its responsibility to one of the northern European states, most likely Finland.

The general, however, did not wish to say why British troops were leaving Kosovo-Metohija, he just said that this was not his responsibility.
