	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/11/2014 answer text <p>Kosovo Force (KFOR) continues to have a Kosovo-wide role particularly in the Serbian majority north of Kosovo. It also has a specific role in protecting Serbian Orthodox sites, yet in the south of Kosovo this is coming to an end. KFOR is currently in the process of transferring responsibility for these sites to the Kosovo Police. This is done in consultation with the Serbian Orthodox Church and taking into account the political and security conditions on the ground. The monastery at Decani remains under KFOR protection and the Patriarchate in Peja is currently undergoing a transition to police protection.</p><p>While there has been a slight increase in incidents of intercommunal violence, mainly due to the reverberations following a recent football match between Albania and Serbia, we do not see an overall trend of an increase in violence in general or a need for KFOR to increase activity.</p> answering member printed Baroness Anelay of St Johns question first answered 17/11/2014 14:40:52 answering member 3474 label Biography information for Baroness Anelay of St Johns
