NATO spokesman Yves Broduer has said the decision will be passed
after KFOR commander Fabio Mini submits a report on security in the
U.N.-administered province. The decision will be made by the
council of ministers of the NATO nations.
Fifty-thousand NATO troops were deployed in Kosovo following the
arrival of international peace-keepers on 12 June 1999.
