Press conference by NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen following the meeting of NATO Defence Ministers. Today has been a busy and productive day. We discussed our operations in Afghanistan and Kosovo with all the partner Ministers. Let me start with Afghanistan. Today, all 50 countries which contribute to the ISAF mission discussed the progress we have made, and the progress we still need to make. I would have to say that 2011 was clearly a turning point. We saw a decrease in the number of enemy initiated attacks. We started the transition to lead Afghan responsibility for the security. We agreed that the transition to Afghan security lead is on track -- and that we will all keep up our efforts, so it stays on track. Our goal is for the Afghan forces to have full responsibility for security across their country by the end of 2014. And that goal stands, for every single one of us. We agreed that, as the Afghan forces continue to take the lead in more and more areas, the main focus of our mission will also continue to evolve -- from combat to training, advice and assistance. And how and when that happens is something we will continue to discuss at the NATO summit in Chicago. Transition is an evolving process. It is happening in close coordination between NATO, our partners and the Afghan authorities. It depends on the security realities on the ground. And it takes time to complete. So even after transition has begun across the whole of the country, we will continue to support Afghans to make it happen. That means training. It means assistance. And where necessary, it also means fighting alongside our Afghan partners. We have a common goal and that goal is clear: a sovereign Afghanistan, in which Afghans are in charge of their own security. But the future of Afghanistan is a matter for the whole international community -- and so is the long-term funding of the Afghan forces. Because a secure Afghanistan in a stable region is in all our interests. We also discussed Kosovo. 2011 was a challenging year for our mission there. But our troops did their job when it mattered the most. They acted firmly, carefully and impartially. And they did so in full accordance with our United Nations mandate. Across much of Kosovo, the security situation is stable. But the situation is still fragile, and freedom of movement remains limited. So our goal remains unchanged: a safe and secure environment for all the people in Kosovo, and the complete restoration of freedom of movement. For that, we need to retain our current KFOR presence. We will reduce it only as the circumstances allow, when the time is right. It's clear that that the current situation in Northern Kosovo cannot be solved by military means alone. So we encourage both Belgrade and Pristina to engage at the negotiating table for a long-term solution. Because nobody will benefit from a return to the tensions of the past. Our discussions yesterday and today have laid the foundation for our Chicago summit. And the good news is that today we also found the way ahead on a practical funding solution for NATO's Alliance Ground Surveillance system. This means that a group of Allies will acquire 5 reconnaissance drones. NATO will then maintain and operate them on behalf of all 28 Allies. This will give our commanders the ability to see what is happening on the ground at long range and over periods of time -- around the clock, and in any weather. At our Lisbon Summit in 2010, we agreed that this is a priority. And our recent operation to protect civilians in Libya showed how important such a capability is. Today we are delivering on our commitments. We are demonstrating that our priorities are the right ones and that we are determined to learn the lessons from our operations. http://www.nato.int/cps/en/natolive/opinions_84174.htm NATO Homepage: http://www.nato.int
