Dear Ambassador,
I have the honour to refer to the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) n° 1244 dated 10 June 1999 providing in the deployment in Kosovo of an international security presence.
In accordance with this UNSCR, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization has decided to establish a multinational KFOR involving NATO and non-NATO forces.
Therefore, based upon previous discussions and communications, I accept with appreciation the offer of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia to provide to KFOR 4 CIMIC personnel and 2 press officers. It is my understanding that it is the intention of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia to maintain its participation in KFOR for a period of at least 12 months, which may be extended by mutual agreement.
The principles concerning the establishment, functions, and responsibilities of the KFOR are set out in the UNSCR and NATO’s operational planning documents. It is understood that your ultimate decision with respect to participation will be contingent upon your acceptance of the provisions of these document. I seek your agreement that Slovenian contingent shall conduct itself in accordance with these documents and any changes to them throughout the course of the operation. Also, I would like to emphasize the importance of continuity of service of units in the KFOR and to seek your agreement that the Slovenian contingent will not be withdrawn without at least 4 months prior notification to the Commander, KFOR (COMKFOR), except as otherwise agreed.
I draw your attention to the United Nations Council Resolution 1244, the Military Technical Agreement and other agreements which may be concluded relating to the rights, obligations, privileges and immunities of KFOR and its members when present in the territory of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. I trust you will confirm that the appropriate authorities of your national contingent shall take the necessary measures to assure the maintenance of proper discipline of your personnel and to exercise jurisdiction with respect to any crime or disciplinary offence which might be committed by your personnel.
With reference to OPLAN 10413, Operation »JOINT GUARDIAN«, I seek your agreement that national contingents provided to the KFOR, having fully arrived in the Theatre Area of Operations and having been assessed as capable of command and operational control of the Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) and subject to NATO Rules of Engagement, SACEUR, who will assume overall authority and operational command or control, will further designate the Commander in Chief Southern Europe (CINCSOUTH) as Joint Force Commander (JFC) and designate COMARRC as Commander Kosovo Force (COMKFOR). The COMKFOR will issue orders to the national contingents through the chain of command established by him. Non-NATO nations will retain national command of their own contingents.
The exchange or KFOR classified information between NATO and non-NATO nations will be carried out in accordance with Security Arrangements to be executed by all participating nations.
Any issues not covered in the present letter remain the responsibility of the Government of the Republic of Slovenia and will not entail any financial responsibility of NATO or any of the national constituent elements of the KFOR.
Troop contributing nations can address issues of a political nature concerning the operation to the NATO Secretary General.
COMKFOR will utilize national contingents in accordance with their capabilities taking into account the advice of the contingent Commander.
I have the honour to propose that this letter and your reply confirming the agreement of your Government to the terms thereof shall constitute an agreement which shall enter into force on the date of your reply.
