KFOR delegation headed by the Commander of this mission Major General Giovanni Fungo today paid an official visit to the Ministry of Defence and the ARM General Staff.
General Fungo, who has been on this duty since September this year, had separate meetings with the Defence Minister Zoran Jolevski and the Deputy Chief of ARM General Staff, Major General Muhamet Racaj.
At the meeting was discussed about the security situation in the region, the situation with the migrant crisis, the cooperation with KFOR in terms of sharing information with ARM pertaining to the current security situation and potential terrorist threats. KFOR delegation was informed about the ARM transformation and participation in peacekeeping operations, and the guests from KFOR presented the security situation in the zone of responsibility of this mission, as well as the activities and future plans of KFOR.
In addition, General Racaj expressed his gratitude for the support from KFOR to the Republic of Macedonia in dealing with the consequences of flooding, where staff and engineering machines from KFOR were engaged in clearing of the terrain.
The conclusion of the working meeting was that ARM and KFOR have established an excellent cooperation, which will continue in the future for the benefit of the security in the region.
The Coordinative Centre for Support of the Host Country, which is a part of the ARM Logistics Support Brigade, was put in a full operational readiness in June 2007. Its main task is to coordinate with KFOR in customs and border procedures of transportation, including other needs of KFOR in the area of logistics provisions, thus making ARM an indirect participant in the KFOR mission.
