Pristina (29 April 2020) Today, Brigadier General Frank BEST (German Air Force) assumed his duties as new Director of the NATO Advisory and Liaison Team (NALT) from Brigadier General Michael G. OBERNEYER (German Army), at a transfer of authority ceremony held at Camp Film City, headquarters of the NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR).

During the ceremony, Brigadier General Oberneyer remarked: We have continued to build on the excellent working relationship developed over the course of the years with our colleagues in the new civilian structure overseeing the Kosovo Security Force and the Kosovo Security Force, in an environment of mutual respect, trust and transparency. Within our respective mandates, we have worked together for a common goal: a professional Kosovo Security Force, with representation from all communities, working together for the benefit of all citizens in Kosovo. Brigadier General Oberneyer leaves the NALT in the capable hands of his colleague Brigadier General Best, who has built an impressive career in the German Air Force since joining in 1983. Most recently, he served as the Branch Head for Forces Policy in the German Ministry of Defence in Bonn.

The NATO Advisory and Liaison Team was set up in August 2016. Its mission is to support the further development of the security organisations in Kosovo which includes providing advice and support with a focus on capacity-building, education and training coordination.
