Adjust font size:

Thirteen members of the 4th batch of the Chinese peacekeeping police in Kosovo on Monday concluded their 15-month mission and flew back home from Serbia's breakaway Kosovo capital of Pristina.

Chief of the Chinese peacekeeping team Wang Guozhu said the Chinese police fulfilled their duties in Kosovo satisfactorily and got high opinions from the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) , foreign colleagues and locals.

Wang and his deputy Luo Xiaoyu are to prolong their duties for another two months to prepare for the coming of the next batch of the Chinese peacekeepers in Kosovo.

The 4th batch of the Chinese peacekeeping police arrived in Kosovo on October 28, 2006 to carry out the duties of criminal investigations, traffic policing, protection of witnesses and VIPs. They were conferred the UN peacekeeping medals in May 2007.

Kosovo has been run by the UN mission since NATO bombing forced the pullout of the Serbian troops from the ethnic Albanian dominated province in 1999. China has been involved in the UN peacekeeping mission in Kosovo since April 2004.
