To help the mothers raising their children alone due to the war – this was the aim of the event held at the KFOR HQ, Camp Film City in Pristina on June 23. The KFOR MID-Summer Festival 2012 provided a venue for the peacekeeping nations in Kosovo – including the Hungarians – to introduce themselves.

Over the recent days the sixth rotation of the HDF KFOR Contingent has continued to mount presence patrols in the northern region of Kosovo. The Serbian elections passed off without incidents in Kosovo, but due to the increasing tension between the Albans and the Serbs, the residents of Mitrovica and its environs were happy to receive the Hungarian and Portuguese peacekeepers again, as they have already gained positive experience about their activities.
