KFOR Commanding officer, Lieutenant General Xavier de Marnhac, hosted at HQ KFOR a multiethnic group of Children Ambassadors, which included some disabled children from the NGO Little People of Kosovo. From Film City, they delivered a letter for the children all over the world, with the message that we are all born free and equal.

`Disabled persons make the minority group of 10% of population in every country all around the world, and in our conditions, disabled persons make the largest multiethnic minority group`, stated Ms. Hiljmnijeta Apuk, from Little People of Kosovo, adding that `everything we do now for disabled persons will affect future generations`.

`Children are the future of Kosovo, the mission of KFOR is to ensure peace and stability for all people of Kosovo especially for children`, stated COMKFOR. Noting his motto, Peace with Determination, LTG de Marnhac said that `KFOR soldiers are determined to fulfill their mission because most of them are parents themselves`.

`In this specific period of time, KFOR will not tolerate any disruption of peace`, said KFOR Commander, adding that `people who may have this temptation that they are responsible to build a good future for their children`.

LTG de Marnhac finally stated that `it is symbolic that the children of Kosovo deliver this message of peace, friendship and tolerance to all the children of the world`.

The Little People of Kosovo are sponsored by the OSCE Mission to Kosovo.
