Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps she is taking to support (a) peace, (b) stability and (c) security in Kosovo.

The UK remains committed to supporting a more secure, stable and prosperous Kosovo. We devote sustained political and diplomatic effort to securing progress in the EU-facilitated Dialogue aimed at normalising relations between Serbia and Kosovo, including through active engagement by the PM's Special Envoy for the Western Balkans, Sir Stuart Peach. Our programme of technical assistance is aimed at supporting Kosovo's efforts to deliver reforms that are crucial for its longer term resilience. The UK also contributes troops and continues to offer a Strategic Reserve Force to the NATO-led Force in Kosovo (KFOR) which is a battalion-sized high readiness Strategic Reserved Force based in the UK.
