/PanARMENIAN.Net/ NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer plans
to travel to Kosovo on Friday.
It will be the first visit by the Alliance’s top diplomat since the
territory declared independence from Serbia.
De Hoop Scheffer will meet with Kosovo’s President and Prime Minister
as well as commanders of NATO’s 16,000-strong forces there, the
AFP reports.
Kosovo’s ethnic Albanian majority proclaimed independence from
Serbia on February 17, a move that has been recognized by more than
25 countries, including major Western powers like the U.S., U.K.,
France and Germany.
