Today marks 21 years since the signing of the Kumanovo military-technical agreement, which ended the war in Kosovo, with the surrender of the former army of Yugoslavia and the capitulation of the criminal Slobodan Milosevic.
With this agreement, Serbia has been forced to withdraw all its police and military forces from Kosovo.
The Kumanovo Agreement, between NATO and the FRY, signed on June 9, 1999, entered into force on June 11, 1999. It was signed by Michael Jackson, the first commander of KFOR in Kosovo, and former Chief of Staff of the Serbian Army, General Nebojsha Pavkovic, accused by The Hague of war crimes and genocide.
Among other things, the agreement provided:
c) to leave Kosovo all persons and organizations with military capabilities, including the regular army and navy, armed civilians, paramilitaries, air force, national guard, border police, reservists, military police, intelligence services, MUP- it, local police, special, anti-rebel, anti-terrorist and any group so designated by KFOR.

e) an area of 5 kilometers beyond the border with the FRY was designated where heavy weapons and the army were not allowed to be deployed, except for border soldiers.
The agreement was reached after the NATO bombing campaign on Serbian targets, which has lasted for 78 consecutive days, as well as after various diplomatic efforts to end the war in Kosovo, during which more than 10 thousand people are killed, about 5 thousand more disappeared and over 1 million displaced Albanians. Material destruction has also been massive.
On June 12, 1999, the first NATO infantry troops landed in Kosovo, while the withdrawal of Serbian forces began.
The Secretary General of NATO, Javier Solana, on June 10, 1999, issued the order to stop the bombing and the UN Security Council approved resolution 1244, where 37.200 KFOR soldiers from 36 countries were sent.
The mission was divided into five areas of responsibility, belonging to American, English, French, German and Italian KFOR.
