U.S. troops end last Kosovo patrol

Stars and Stripes, by Staff Posted By: Struan- Wed, 31 Mar 2010 23:47:48 GMT U.S. troops in Kosovo have conducted their last scheduled patrol along the border with the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. American soldiers have regularly conducted such patrols —often with the Kosovo Border and Boundary Police — since entering Kosovo in 1999. But a joint patrol Monday with the KBBP was the last one planned for U.S. troops, according to Multi'National Battle Group'East. From now on, members of the KBBP will conduct the patrols themselves or in coordination with their counterparts across the border. “We are definitely at the point where we can step back,” said Capt. Dan Murphy
