A 35-member subdivision of Armenian peacekeepers will leave for Kosovo on July 6. The Armenian peacekeepers will be located at the American military base Bondstill near the city of Urosevac.

The peacekeepers will be responsible for ensuring peace at patrol service, security checkpoints, during mass unrests. They will also escort guards.

The Armenian peacekeepers, who had been carrying out mission in Kosovo since 2004, were withdrawn because of the reduction of the number of troops participating in the Kosovo Force (KFOR).

A Memorandum of Understanding on the resumption of the Armenian peacekeeping mission in Kosovo has been signed with the American side.
