Presidential Letter on Peacekeeping Operations in Kosovo
November 15, 2002
Dear Mr. Chairman: (Dear Representative:) (Dear Senator:)
As required by the Floyd D. Spence National Defense Authorization
Act, Public Law 106-398, section 1213, I transmit herewith a report on
the contributions of European nations and organizations to the
peacekeeping operations in Kosovo.
This report, prepared by the Department of State, concludes that
the Europeans have carried a significant portion of the aid-sharing
burden in the region and that their commitment to reconstruction,
humanitarian relief, and institution and peace-building has been a
strong one. Continued attention and commitments of assistance from all
donors remain crucial for medium- and long-term development in Kosovo.
Sincerely,
GEORGE W. BUSH
