Richard said France wanted Kosovo to integrate with European
structures.
The French official held talks with the commander of the
international peacekeepers in Kosovo (KFOR), general Marcel
Valentin and UN Civil Administrator in Kosovo Michael Steiner.
France helped Kosovo to stop the violence in 1999 and it will
continue to help Kosovo in the future, Richard said.
The French Minister said his country wanted Kosovo to integrate
with European structures.
He also spoke about possibilities of reducing the number of French
soldiers within the KFOR, adding, however, this would take place
only after conditions for this were created.
