vo police, KPS, with the main goals of being joint training of KFOR Tactica=
l North and Operative Reserve troops.
"The troops will get familiar with the terrain and all defense procedures a=
t border crossings of Brnjak and Jarinje," said the statement.=20
The two administrative line checkpoints are located near Leposavi=C4=87 and=

KFOR, EULEX and the KPS, the statement concluded.=20

Serb organization to interpret the drill as a provocation aimed at them, a=
nd Belgrade.=20

LEX "to show that Serbia has definitively lost Kosovo and that a NATO state=
had been formed on Serbian soil".=20
