CAMP BONDSTEEL, Kosovo –— Leadership from Multinational Battle Group-East, Kosovo Border Police and representatives of European Rule of Law Mission (EULEX) gathered on Camp Bondsteel, Kosovo, Mar. 10, to discuss to discuss the joint training efforts that are underway.
Kosovo Border Police Col. Shaban Guda, director of the Kosovo Border Police department, said that everyone faces the same issues that were presented at the meeting and he hopes they can fight them together.
“Meetings like this will help us offer more security at the border and boundary area and we can achieve this jointly with Kosovo Force,” said Guda.
U.S. Army Col. Clint Baker, commander of MNBG-E, said the purpose of the meeting was to build stronger relationships.
“We shared some information about how the battle group operates, we had lunch and then we showed them some static displays to demonstrate our capabilities,” said Baker. “Hopefully it was a fun day for them and a relaxing day more than anything else. It allows us to get to know each other better so that we can really have a stronger partnership.”
U.S. Army Capt. Justin Knox, chief of operations for MNBG-E, presented a video to the KBP and EULEX to show what MNBG-E has done in the past few years.
“We opened up with a video of what our unit has been doing in the past and then we went into a brief where we discussed our realignment of ABL green line with KBP,” said Knox. “I am very encouraged by the relationship we have established with KBP. They seem very motivated and they have the same vision that we have for the way ahead for Kosovo. We are seeing great progress.”
Guda explained that they not only received operational support from KFOR but also valuable training and equipment.
“I would like to thank KFOR for all of the support and help they have been giving us,” said Guda. “We hope it will continue in the future and as a result will work at providing a better security on the borders and boundary areas.”
They hope to meet again in the near future.
