Untitled[edit]

I removed the sentence『KFOR’s presence remains crucial to guarantee security and stability in Kosovo as the diplomatic process led by the United Nations to define its future status moves forward.』because there can be no citation given. Whether or not it is crucial is a matter of opinion and speculation and so the sentence was removed as being an example of clear bias unless someone can turn it into 'and the UN general fred said "it is crucial etc."' —Preceding unsigned comment added by Deathmare (talkcontribs) 23:34, 3 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the content to this article has been taken from NATO offical site [1]. Shouldn't matter though, as they are very liberal with all media content. I guess that same is true for text, although I haven't found any notice about on the site. --Vikingstad 19:42, Mar 17, 2004 (UTC)

The above link, and almost all the links in the article, to the NATO web site were "broken" (page not found). I've tried to fix things up as best I could.
The second-last link under External references should probably be deleted. I included it as I feel more in the role of re-writer than censor, and the link (in a slightly different version) has been in the article since 15 March 2007. --RenniePet 23:03, 29 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cold War WikiProject and WikiProject Germany?[edit]

WikiProject Germany? Germany has next to nothing to do with Kosovo Force. It contributes 6,000 troops to the force, but you may as well use that as an excuse to make this part of the WikiProject Russia, Italy, etc.

And Cold War WikiProject? What does this have to do with the Cold War? Worldthoughts 22:54, 26 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

They were both added by bots, no idea why. Narayanese (talk) 01:00, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Title[edit]

The general rule about titles is that you should use the full title unless it is more usual to refer to it by its acronym. So in this case, should this article be located at the Kosovo Force?Enochlau 04:41, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I would tend to think that this is an instance of a term where the acronym is used more often than the full name. To be frank, this must be about the first time I see "Kosovo Force" written (and I have some interest in the question). Rama 08:20, 2 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Russia withdrew its troops in 2003 after KFOR refused to give them an own occupation zone. Dutch soldiers prevented them from entering their territories. You can delete this entry.

Derim Hunt


One should be able to reach the article also from the form "K-For" used by the BBC News. I am very old and don't know how to make the reference.Svato (talk) 02:58, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Doubts on this [edit][edit]

concerning the number of soldiers, there are a series of strange edits here by an IP-adress. Especially if you look at countries like the Netherlands and Georgia. Need second opinion before I undo. Dorkules (talk) 09:36, 7 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Contradictory[edit]

KFOR Sectors 2002

In August 2005, the North Atlantic Council decided to restructure KFOR, replacing the four existing multinational brigades with five task forces, to allow for greater flexibility with, for instance, the removal of restrictions on the cross-boundary movement of units based in different sectors of Kosovo. but map shows that there were 5 sectors/brigades already in 2002. And as far as I can remember, there were 5 sectors from very beginning. -- Bojan  Talk  06:27, 27 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Changes in Battlegroups / Needs update[edit]

In the beginning of November 2010, there will be only two battlegroups, East and West. Operations of North, South and Central will cease/merge. Many nations are withdrawing their troops completely, for example Finland, Sweden, Czech and Slovakia. Intention is that KFOR will have mobile battlegroups in a few camps, instead of lot of troops in many camps. After planned withdrawals, amount of toops is about to be halved from 10 000 soldiers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.239.207.91 (talk) 11:41, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Incorrect image legend[edit]

One of the images on the right, which shows an emblem with the NATO symbol over the German flag on the background, is described as Ukrainian soldiers on foot, patrolling in a Kosovan village near Brezovica. I'm not sure what the correct description for that emblem is, or whether a usable image showing Ukrainian soldiers in Kosovo exists somewhere, but this should be corrected.

Requested move[edit]

The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: Move request withdrawn. bobrayner (talk) 14:43, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]


Kosovo ForceKFOR – KFOR is the WP:COMMONNAME. They even call themselves KFOR. I get 127000 Gbooks hits versus 9160 for "Kosovo Force". bobrayner (talk) 09:45, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

KFOR is a dab page. Do you have evidence that the peacekeeping force is better known under KFOR than the radio and TV station combined as per WP:PRIMARYTOPIC?--199.91.207.3 (talk) 14:33, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oops. That's a silly mistake on my part; how could I miss the existence of a dab page? Thanks for pointing out the obvious. :-) bobrayner (talk) 14:43, 9 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
The above discussion is preserved as an archive of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on this talk page or in a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

Letters Cyrilic or Greek or Both?[edit]

I think KFOR is written in letters comprehensible both in Greek and Cyrilic. Perhaps some finetuning in the explanation might be useful. 85.58.164.113 (talk) 23:05, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Participation Bosnia and Herzegovina[edit]

I have searched everywhere on the Internet for information about the participation of the armed forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina in the KFOR mission, but I have not found any such information anywhere. Therefore, I am wondering whether to remove this country as there is no information about its participation in KFOR. KujKuń (talk) 15:45, 14 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
