KFOR Commander Markus Bentler stated on Wednesday that the NATO peacekeeping force in Kosovo-Metohija (KiM) is ready for every situation which may ensue from the ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) on the legality of Kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence.

There are no signs of any threats, Bentler told the journalists in Pristina. However, KFOR will be prepared. We are ready to handle any type of violence, he added.  KFOR's presence will be visible, Bentler said.

We do not intend to make any threats, but we are ready to deal with any type of violence, Bentler said, calling on Kosovo citizens to peacefully express their political views regarding ICJ's ruling.
