"Look, the KFOR mission functions based on the mandate it was given by the United Nations, with the agreement of the sides in the conflict," the western military alliance's secretary general stressed.
He was responding to a question of a Greek MEP who wished to know "for how long NATO would occupy Kosovo."
Rasmussen also noted that the EP in several of its resolutions supported KFOR as a guarantee of security in Kosovo.
"That could hardly be called occupation," said Rasmussen.
