Prema riječima generalnog sekretara Alijanse Jaapa de Hoopa Scheffera, oni su utvrdili da postoje "pravi politički i vojni uslovi za potez ka postepenom prilagođavanju ... statusa KFOR-ovih snaga ka, kako mi to nazivamo u svom žargonu, prisustvu u cilju odvraćanja".
According to the Alliance's secretary general, Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, they determined that the political and military conditions are right for a move towards a gradual adjustment … of KFOR's force posture to what we call in our jargon a deterrent presence.
