The minister, Willie O'Dea, said NATO-led peacekeepers will be busy securing Kosovo as tensions remain high between the Albanian and Serb communities.
"The situation remains quite unstable. More unstable then anticipated," O'Dea said while visiting 300 Irish troops in southern Kosovo.
He said Kfor "will be needed here for many, many years to come."
