whenever the COMKFOR determines such Forces, weapons, or activities to constitute a
threat or potential threat to either the KFOR or its mission, or to another Party. Forces
failing to redeploy, withdraw, relocate, or to cease threatening or potentially threatening
activities following such a demand by the KFOR shall be subject to military action by the
KFOR, including the use of necessary force, to ensure compliance, consistent with the
terms set forth in Article I, paragraph 3.
Article IX: Border Control
The Parties understand and agree that, until other arrangements are established, and
subject to provisions of this Chapter and Chapter 2, controls along the international
border of the FRY that is also the border of Kosovo will be maintained by the existing
institutions normally assigned to such tasks, subject to supervision by the KFOR and the
IM, which shall have the right to review and approve all personnel and units, to monitor
their performance, and to remove and replace any personnel for behavior inconsistent
with this Chapter.
Article X: Control of Air Movements
The appropriate NATO commander shall have sole authority to establish rules and
procedures governing command and control of the airspace over Kosovo as well as
within a 25 kilometer Mutual Safety Zone (MSZ). This MSZ shall consist of FRY
airspace within 25 kilometers outward from the boundary of Kosovo with other parts of
the FRY. This Chapter supersedes the NATO Kosovo Verification Mission Agreement of
October 12, 1998 on any matter or area in which they may contradict each other. No
military air traffic, fixed or rotary wing, of any Party shall be permitted to fly over
Kosovo or in the MSZ without the prior express approval of the appropriate NATO
commander. Violations of any of the provisions above, including the appropriate NATO
commander's rules and procedures governing the airspace over Kosovo, as well as
unauthorized flight or activation of FRY Integrated Air Defense (IADS) within the MSZ,
shall be subject to military action by the KFOR, including the use of necessary force. The
KFOR shall have a liaison team at the FRY Air Force HQ and a YAADF liaison shall be
established with the KFOR. The Parties understand and agree that the appropriate NATO
commander may delegate control of normal civilian air activities to appropriate FRY
institutions to monitor operations, deconflict KFOR air traffic movements, and ensure
smooth and safe operation of the air traffic system.
