The Kosovo Force, or KFOR, has ensured that peace remains in place since 1999 after Nato was forced to intervene against ethnic cleansing by Serbia.
It is now 25 years since Nato’s Kosovo Force peacekeeping mission got underway in 1999.
KFOR was deployed after Western nations ended the sectarian conflict with a bombing campaign, and the force has been required to remain there to this day.
It maintains a presence of around 4,000 personnel, and more than 200 peacekeepers have died on the mission.
