Thursday marks the 23rd anniversary of the signing of the agreement that ended the NATO air campaign against the then Federal Republic of Yugoslavia

The Military-Technical Kumanovo Agreement between KFOR and the governments of the then FRY and Serbia was signed at the military airport near the city of Kumanovo after 78 days of NATO bombing and five days of negotiations. Following the signing, Yugoslav security forces withdrew from Kosovo.

The Agreement was signed by Yugoslav Army General Svetozar Marjanovic, Serbian Interior Ministry General Obrad Stevanovic and British General Michael Jackson.

Provisions of the Agreement were incorporated into the UN Security Council Resolution 1244, which was adopted a day later.
