NATO&#8217;s intervention in Kosovo enabled the return to the homes of more than 800,000 refugees, and displaced persons inside and outside Kosovo. On June 12, 1999, the deployment of approximately 50,000 soldiers from 36 countries of the world began, of which 30,000 were from NATO countries. Today, 24 years after this intervention, KFOR peacekeeping troops are in smaller numbers. They are stationed in different parts of Kosovo with a peacekeeping mission.<\/span><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" data-placeholder=\"Translation\">\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>24 years ago today, NATO intervened to stop the ongoing genocide committed against the people of Kosovo.
