Soldiers of the 28th rotation of PKW KFOR (Kosovo Force) took part in an endurance march during which they climbed one of the highest peaks of the Sar Planina mountain range – Ljuboten (2,498 m above sea level). Climbing Ljuboten is a tradition of successive rotations of the Polish Military Contingent. A Polish white-and-red flag was planted at the summit.
More than one hundred soldiers of the 28th rotation of the Polish Military Contingent, several dozen officers of the 21st rotation of the Eulex Polish Special Police Unit, and a team of American soldiers from LMT (Liaison Monitoring Team) took part in the endurance march.
The Polish Military Contingent KFOR in Kosovo is carrying out a stabilization mission and is part of the Multinational Battle Group – East. As part of its operational activities, the Polish contingent performs tasks involving the monitoring of compliance with international agreements and treaties in order to create conditions for safe living and the normalization of the situation in its area of responsibility.
The core of the new, 28th rotation of the Polish Military Contingent in Kosovo consists of soldiers from the 23rd Silesian Artillery Regiment in Bolesławiec – the unit responsible for forming and preparing the contingent – as well as the Special Branch of the Military Gendarmerie from Mińsk Mazowiecki and the 1st Storage Battalion from Olsztyn of the 1st Logistic Brigade.
