A phased withdrawal of Nato troops from Kosovo will only be made if the security situation allows, Nato's new secretary general has said.
Anders Fogh Rasmussen denied a plan to withdraw peacekeepers was premature and said a decision would be based on military and political advice.
The former Danish prime minister was speaking to the BBC on his first visit to Kosovo as Nato chief.
He is meeting political leaders as well as senior members of the Nato force.
"Reductions will take place in accordance with continued improvements in the security situation," Mr Rasmussen told the BBC.
"We will definitely not take decisions that have a negative impact on the security in Kosovo."
