Defence Minister Peter MacKay announced Friday that Canada will send five soldiers to Kosovo to help a NATO-led peacekeeping force.
They will be deployed for 12 months to NATO’s peacekeeping headquarters in Pristina, capital of the former Serbian province.
"Five Canadian Forces personnel can make a great difference," MacKay told a news conference. "Their know-how, their experience, their ability in co-ordinating in Kosovo I expect will make a real difference." The minister said the military members, described as defence planners, will be drawn from various bases across the country.
They’re main role will be co-ordinating funds and equipment sent from donor countries.
