NATO says to cut forces in Kosovo mission

NATO said Friday it will cut troop numbers in its 4,600-strong peacekeeping mission in Kosovo as the security situation has improved.

"The current conditions provide an opportunity to optimise KFOR's size and posture further," US General Alexus Grynkewich, NATO's supreme Allied Commander Europe, said.

European diplomats said prior to the announcement that the United States had signalled it wanted to reduce its forces in KFOR. NATO did not give details on which troops will be withdrawn.
