Montenegrin Defense Minister Predrag Boskovic said Montenegro for the first time would send two army officers to KFOR Mission in Kosovo, Serbian media reported.

Boskovic who is in an official visit to the USA, said that Montenegrin army officers should join KFOR by the end of the year.

According to him, Montenegro as a NATO member, would send one officer to the KFOR HQ in Pristina, and the other one to the Liaison Office in Skopje.

Asked to comment on the reaction from Serbia, related to Podgorica’s decision, Boskovic said that “Montenegro follows its own interests” and “understands policy of a military neutrality” pursued by official Belgrade, Serbian media reported.
