What happened

NATO has begun reducing its military contingent in Kosovo thanks to "improvements to the security situation," Spokesperson Allison Hart said.

Why it matters

"NATO is working to ensure that our peacekeeping mission in Kosovo is optimized for the current environment," she said on X.

Common ground

"We have begun to adjust our posture, in close coordination with all relevant authorities and stakeholders." She added that this process is reversible, and the NATO presence in the province can be expanded again at any time if the bloc deems it necessary.
