In an interview for Tirana television Top Channel, Gallach said that she is convinced that field cooperation between EULEX and KFOR will continue in the best possible way and that the EU mission will fulfill their obligations in the whole of Kosovo territory.
"I can freely say that any type of reduction of KFOR troops in Kosovo will have no effect on EULEX. The EU mission cooperates well with KFOR, and although they have different functions, they are in constant intensive coordination", Gallach underscored.
Some NATO members, among which are Latvia, Spain, Germany and Austria, have announced a withdrawal or reductions in the number of their soldiers in KFOR structure in Kosovo.
