A 35-member subdivision of Armenian peacekeepers will depart for Kosovo on July 6, according to the press release of Armenian Defense Ministry.

The Armenian peacekeepers are to be deployed at US Bondsteel military camp near the Urosevac town and implement peacekeeping mission for six months.

The Armenian peacekeepers will patrol, ensure security of check-points, handle mass disorders, accompany escorts.

Armenia is participating in Kosovo mission since 2004. The Armenian subdivision, though, was withdrawn from Kosovo in February 2012 due to reduction of forces participating in Kosovo peacekeeping mission.

A memorandum of mutual understanding has been signed with the American side on resuming Armenian peacekeeping mission in Multinational Battle Group East.
