TAGS: PREL NATO PGOV MOPS MARR KV YI AFDB
SUBJECT: ALLIES STRESS CAUTION AND SOLIDARITY ON KFOR 
DRAWDOWN 
 
Classified By: Political Advisor Kelly Degnan.  Reasons 1.4 (b) and (d) 
. 
 
1. (C) SUMMARY:  On January 6,the North Atlantic Council 
(NAC) agreed on the need to ensure KFOR maintains adequate 
troop levels and force mobility during the drawdown.  The 
U.S. and a large number of Allies stressed that the KFOR move 
to deterrent presence must be a conditions-based process 
without timelines.  The U.S., Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, 
Greece, and Bulgaria called Allies to respect the 
"in-together, out-together" principle.  Deputy Assistant 
Secretary General (DASG) for Operations Rossin said Serbian 
Ambassador Milinkovic had recently informed him that Belgrade 
intends to send a delegation to NATO in March with formal 
proposals for changing the Kumanovo Military Technical 
Agreement (MTA).  DASG Rossin said KFOR had prepared for 
transferring responsibility for protecting the Gazimestan 
Monument to the Kosovo Police, a move that was currently 
being considered by the Military Committee for endorsement to 
the NAC.  At the close of the meeting, Allies agreed to hold 
the Defense Ministerial Afghanistan meeting in ISAF format 
and are debating the pros and cons of holding a KFOR format 
meeting.  END SUMMARY 
 
---------------------------------- 
NATO Engagement in Kosovo Critical 
---------------------------------- 
 
2. (C) Deputy Secretary General (DSYG) Bisogniero said 
continued NATO engagement in Kosovo was critical because 
although Kosovo was stable, tensions persist, especially in 
the north.  The German PermRep cautioned that we remained on 
thin ice in Kosovo and needed to ensure we maintained 
adequate troop levels and force mobility.  The Greek PermRep 
said the situation was better but not ideal, and warned of 
the need to closely monitor political developments. 
 
3. (C) DASG Rossin assessed that post-election political 
turmoil was normal for Kosovo's level of development and did 
not threaten a safe and secure environment.  The Bulgarian 
PermRep said the elections were a positive sign but the lack 
of Kosovo Serb participation in the north was troubling. 
Slovenia added that steps were needed to ensure better 
integration of Kosovo Serbs in the north.  Italy and Slovenia 
warned that the ongoing case challenging Kosovo's 
independence in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) 
could have a negative effect on stability, and Romania said 
NATO would need to fine-tune its approach after the ICJ 
decision. 
 
-------------------------------------- 
KFOR Drawdown Must Be Conditions-Based 
-------------------------------------- 
 
4. (C) The U.S. stressed that the KFOR move to deterrent 
presence must be a conditions-based process without 
timelines.  The majority of Allies explicitly echoed this 
theme.  NATO International Military Staff Assistant Director 
for Operations, Major General Li Gobbi, said NATO Military 
Authorities (NMAs) understood that the KFOR drawdown was an 
events-driven, not time-driven process, and were conducting 
planning accordingly. 
 
5. (C) MG Li Gobbi said the first phase of the KFOR drawdown 
was on schedule for completion by January 31, at which time 
KFOR will have 10,200 troops (Gate 1). MG Li Gobbi said 
shortfalls, especially in intelligence, rotary wing, and 
maneuver forces, remained that would be a concern for moving 
to Gate 2 (5,500 troops).  He noted, however, that KFOR would 
be able to stand up the joint logistics unit by the end of 
the month. 
 
6. (C) Germany, supported by Bulgaria, Hungary, and Romania, 
said the move to Gate 2 must remain strictly conditions-based 
and would require precise analysis.  Italy concurred, but 
 
USNATO 00000007  002 OF 003 
 
 
expressed optimism that the appropriate conditions could be 
met in the short-term.  Romania emphasized that political 
criteria must be considered in addition to security 
conditions, and Bulgaria added that regional factors were 
also important. 
 
------------------------- 
In-Together, Out-Together 
------------------------- 
 
7. (C) The U.S., Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, Greece, and 
Bulgaria stressed that the KFOR drawdown must proceed in 
accordance with the principle of "in-together, out-together." 
 MG Li Gobbi said setting unilateral national deadlines for 
withdrawing from KFOR threatened the conditions-based 
approach.  To ensure adequate inclusion of non-NATO troop 
contributors, Italy and the Czech Republic called for their 
inclusion at the Kosovo discussion by Defense Ministers in 
February.  Hungary, Slovenia, and Croatia stressed their 
intentions to maintain their contributions. 
 
------------------------------------------ 
Belgrade to Present MTA Proposals in March 
------------------------------------------ 
 
8. (C) The Czech PermRep said NATO should be open to revising 
the Kumanovo Military Technical Agreement (MTA) and should 
encourage Belgrade to convey its ideas to NATO.  The UK 
advised caution on the MTA.  USNATO reported that the U.S. 
had urged Serbia to come forward with specific proposals 
during bilateral contacts, noting the ball was in Belgrade's 
court.  DASG Rossin said Serbian Ambassador Milinkovic had 
recently informed him that Belgrade intends to send a 
delegation to NATO in March with formal proposals for 
adjusting the agreement. 
 
------------------------------------------- 
Patrimonial Sites Must Be Treated Carefully 
------------------------------------------- 
 
9. (C) MG Li Gobbi said the KFOR Commander (COMKFOR) was 
sensitive to the risks of turning over the nine 
KFOR-protected patrimonial sites to the Kosovo Police (KP) 
and was developing comprehensive plans for unfixing these 
sites in consultation with relevant actors.  He reported that 
the first request to unfix a site, Gazimestan Monument, was 
with the Military Committee and said the KP had shown their 
readiness to assume responsibility during joint exercises. 
DASG Rossin endorsed COMKFOR's approach and said KFOR had 
well and thoroughly prepared for unfixing Gazimestan. 
 
10. (C) Italy, supported by Hungary, stressed that KFOR must 
maintain the capability to protect the nine sites even after 
unfixing.  The Czech PermRep said he hoped the careful 
approach to Gazimestan would be a model for all the sites, 
and Greece said this task must be handled with extreme 
sensitivity.  Croatia said coordination was needed with 
Belgrade, and DASG Rossin noted that Serbian Ambassador 
Milinkovic had told him recently that Belgrade's major 
concern was with the protected sites of Decani and Pec rather 
than Gazimestan. 
 
------------------------------------ 
Allies Want More Attention to Kosovo 
------------------------------------ 
 
11. (C) Albania said the Council should be reviewing the 
situation in Kosovo more intensively.  Albania, Czech 
Republic, Slovakia, Spain, and Turkey called for more 
frequent Kosovo discussions in the NAC.  Albania, supported 
by Bulgaria, Czech Republic, and Slovakia, said the NAC 
should visit Kosovo soon.  Spain said it could support a 
visit to KFOR rather than Kosovo.  The UK added that it would 
welcome a briefing in the NAC by Joint Forces Command Naples 
Commander Admiral Fitzgerald. 
 
USNATO 00000007  003 OF 003 
 
 
 
12. (C) Albania, supported by France, UK, Croatia, Romania, 
and Slovenia, called for a NAC discussion with EU Law and 
Justice Mission in Kosovo (EULEX) chief de Kermabon. 
Slovenia asked that EU Special Representative Feith also be 
invited.  The Turkish Deputy PermRep said he would pass on 
this suggestion to Ankara for guidance.  Spain offered to 
facilitate a discussion as current holder of the EU 
Presidency. 
 
--------------------- 
KSF Shortfalls Remain 
--------------------- 
 
13. (C) MG Li Gobbi said two recruitment campaigns in 2010 
and two in 2011 are planned to fill out the Kosovo Security 
Force (KSF) structure, with a particular emphasis on 
attracting Kosovo Serbs.  He said it would be critical to 
resolve the 9 million euro shortfall in the KSF trust fund. 
Slovenia said it had just contributed 1.8 million euros in 
equipment, and Albania said it would soon contribute 500,000 
dollars. 
 
14. (C) DASG Rossin said manning shortfalls in the Military 
Civil Advisory Division for training the KSF and the NATO 
Advisory Team (NAT) for the Ministry of the KSF would stall 
achievement of full operating capability if not addressed. 
Slovenia noted that it had just sent one volunteer to serve 
in the NAT and would contribute two more. 
 
--------------------------------------------- -- 
AOB: Defense Ministerial Meeting in ISAF Format 
--------------------------------------------- -- 
 
15. (C) Under Any Other Business, the DSYG sought Council 
approval to include non-NATO ISAF contributors in the 
Afghanistan session at the February Defense Ministerial.  The 
Turkish Deputy PermRep said he foresaw no problem but needed 
to seek Ankara's approval.  All other Allies approved the 
proposal.
