The medal parade for the personnel serving with the 13th rotation of the HDF KFOR Contingent (KFOR-13 HUNCON) stationed in Camp Slim Lines, Pristina, Kosovo was held in cold winter weather. By tradition, the medal parade is a milestone for every soldier deployed with a mission, because it signals that they can soon return home to their loved ones, after long months spent with work and duties.
