Urging Kosovo institutions to act with responsibility and maturity, he also reassured the public that despite the decreased number of NATO troops in Kosovo, the security situation will not be affected in any way. "From the view point of the security -- and this is the part where it has to do with NATO and KFOR -- what we are expecting, and further what I would say also what we request from Kosovo leadership, is to continue with a moderate and constructive approach," Rasmussen said.
Pozivajući kosovske institucije da rade odgovorno i zrelo, on je takođe pružio uveravanja javnosti da, uprkos smanjenju broja vojnika NATO-a na Kosovu, to ni na jedan način neće uticati na bezbednosnu situaciju. „Sa stanovišta bezbednosti -- a to je deo koji se odnosi na NATO i KFOR -- ono što mi očekujemo, a još bih rekao i ono što tražimo od kosovskog rukovodstva, jeste da nastavi sa umerenim i konstruktivnom pristupom“, izjavio je Rasmusen.
