("KFOR") and the governments of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and the
Republic of Serbia

09 June, 1999

Article 1 General Obligations

1. The Parties to this Agreement reaffirm the document presented by
President Ahtisaari to President Milosevic and approved by the Serb
parliament and the Federal Government on June 3, 1999, to include deployment
in Kosovo under UN auspices of effective international civil and security
presences. The Parties further note that the UN Security Council is prepared
to adopt a resolution, which has been introduced, regarding these presences.

2. The State Governmental authorities of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia
and the Republic of Serbia understand and agree that the international
security force ("KFOR") will deploy following the adoption of the UNSCR
referred to in Paragraph 1 and operate without hindrance within Kosovo and
with the authority to take all necessary action to establish and maintain a
secure environment for all citizens of Kosovo and otherwise carry out its
mission. They further agree to comply with all of the obligations of this
Agreement and to facilitate the deployment and operation of this force.

3. For purposes of the Agreement, the following expressions shall have the
meanings as described below:

a. "The Parties" are those signatories to the Agreement.

shall any Forces of the FRY and the Republic of Serbia enter into, reenter,
or remain within the territory of Kosovo or the Ground Safety Zone (GSZ) and
the Air Safety Zone (ASZ) described in paragraph 3. Article 1 without the
prior express consent of the international security force ("KFOR")

use of necessary force, to ensure compliance with this Agreement and
protection of the international security force ("KFOR"), and to contribute
to a secure environment for the international civil implementation presence,
and other international organisations, agencies, and non-governmental
organisations (details in Appendix B).

Article II Cessation of Hostilities

1. The FRY Forces shall immediately, upon entry into force (EIF) of this
Agreement, refrain from committing any hostile or provocative acts of any
type against any person in Kosovo and will order armed forces to cease all
such activities. They shall not encourage, organise or support hostile or
provocative demonstrations.

2. Phased Withdrawal of FRY Forces (ground): The FRY agrees to a phased
withdrawal of all FRY Forces from Kosovo to locations in Serbia outside
Kosovo. FRY Forces will mark and clear minefields, booby traps and
obstacles. As they withdraw, FRY Forces will clear all lines of
communication by removing all mines, demolitions, booby traps, obstacles and
charges. They will also mark all sides of all minefields. International
security forces' ("KFOR") entry and deployment into Kosovo will be
synchronized. The phased withdrawal of FRY Forces from Kosovo will be in
accordance with the sequence outlined below:

a. By EIF + 1 day, FRY Forces located in Zone 3 will have vacated, via
designated routes, that Zone to demonstrate compliance (depicted on the map
at Appendix A to the Agreement). Once it is verified that FRY forces have
complied with this subparagraph and with paragraph 1 of this Article, NATO
air strikes will be suspended. The suspension will continue provided that
the obligations of this agreement are fully complied with, and provided that
the UNSC adopts a resolution concerning the deployment of the international
security force ("KFOR") so rapidly that a security gap can be avoided.

b. By EIF + 6 days, all FRY Forces in Kosovo will have vacated Zone 1
(depicted on the map at Appendix A to the Agreement). Establish liaison
teams with the KFOR commander in Pristina.

c. By EIF + 9 days, all FRY Forces in Kosovo will have vacated Zone 2
(depicted on the map at Appendix A to the Agreement).

d. By EIF + 11 days, all FRY Forces in Kosovo will have vacated Zone 3
(depicted on the map at Appendix A to the Agreement).

e. By EIF +11 days, all FRY Forces in Kosovo will have completed their
withdrawal from Kosovo (depicted on map at Appendix A to the Agreement) to
locations in Serbia outside Kosovo, and not within the 5 km GSZ. At the end
of the sequence (EIF + 11), the senior FRY Forces commanders responsible for
the withdrawing forces shall confirm in writing to the international
security force ("KFOR") commander that the FRY Forces have complied and
completed the phased withdrawal. The international security force ("KFOR")
commander may approve specific requests for exceptions to the phased
withdrawal. The bombing campaign will terminate on complete withdrawal of
FRY Forces as provided under Article II. The international security force
("KFOR") shall retain, as necessary, authority to enforce compliance with
this Agreement.

f. The authorities of the FRY and the Republic of Serbia will cooperate
fully with international security force ("KFOR") in its verification of the
withdrawal of forces from Kosovo and beyond the ASZ/GSZ.

g. FRY armed forces withdrawing in accordance with Appendix A, i.e. in
designated assembly areas or withdrawing on designated routes, will not be
subject to air attack.

h. The international security force ("KFOR") will provide appropriate
control of the borders of FRY in Kosovo with Albania and FYROM (Former
Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia) until the arrival of the civilian mission of
the UN.

3. Phased Withdrawal of Yugoslavia Air and Air Defence Forces (YAADF)

a. At EIF + 1 day, no FRY aircraft, fixed wing and rotary, will fly in
Kosovo airspace or over the ASZ without prior approval by the international
security force ("KFOR") commander. All air defence systems, radar,
surface-to-air missile and aircraft of the Parties will refrain from
acquisition, target tracking or otherwise illuminating international
security ("KFOR") air platforms operating in the Kosovo airspace or over the
ASZ.

b. By EIF + 3 days, all aircraft, radars, surface-to-air missiles (including
man-portable air defence systems (MANPADS)) and anti-aircraft artillery in
Kosovo will withdraw to other locations in Serbia outside the 25 kilometre
ASZ.

c. The international security force ("KFOR") commander will control and
coordinate use of airspace over Kosovo and the ASZ commencing at EIF.
Violation of any of the provisions above, including the international
security force ("KFOR") commander's rules and procedures governing the
airspace over Kosovo, as well as unauthorised flight or activation of FRY
Integrated Air Defence (IADS) within the ASZ, are subject to military action
by the international security force ("KFOR"), including the use of necessary
force. The international security force ("KFOR") commander may delegate
control of normal civilian air activities to appropriate FRY institutions to
monitor operations, deconflict international security force ("KFOR") air
traffic movements, and ensure smooth and safe operations of the air traffic
system. It is envisioned that control of civil air traffic will be returned
to civilian authorities as soon as practicable.

Article III Notifications

1. This Agreement and written orders requiring compliance will be
immediately communicated to all FRY forces.

2. By EIF +2 days, the State governmental authorities of the FRY and the
Republic of Serbia shall furnish the following specific information
regarding the status of all FRY Forces:

a. Detailed records, positions and descriptions of all mines, unexploded
ordnance, explosive devices, demolitions, obstacles, booby traps, wire
entanglement, physical or military hazards to the safe movement of any
personnel in Kosovo laid by FRY Forces.

b. Any further information of a military or security nature about FRY Forces
in the territory of Kosovo and the GSZ and ASZ requested by the
international security force ("KFOR") commander.

Article IV Establishment of a Joint Implementation Commission (JIC)

A JIC shall be established with the deployment of the international security
force ("KFOR") to Kosovo as directed by the international security force
("KFOR") commander.

regarding interpretation of this Agreement and the security aspects of the
peace settlement it supports. His determinations are binding on all Parties
and persons.
