More than twenty Hungarian soldiers injured in Kosovo, seven seriously – VIDEO
Hungarian soldiers will stand their ground in NATO’s peacekeeping mission in Kosovo, the Hungarian Ministry of Defence (HM) told MTI on Monday evening.
According to the statement, Hungarian soldiers also took part in the Kosovo riot.
On Monday afternoon, the soldiers of the Hungarian Defence Forces, who are participating in the NATO peacekeeping force, were deployed for crowd dispersal tasks at the mayor’s office of the Kosovo municipality of Zvecan. The crowds gathered there were protesting against the results of the previous elections.
Soldiers from several nations were injured in the clash. According to current information, more than 20 Hungarian soldiers were injured, seven of them seriously, and their condition is stable, the ministry added.
The injured Hungarian soldiers are being airlifted to Hungary for further treatment. The rescue unit will leave for Kosovo in the evening hours under the command of Major General Ferenc Kajári, Deputy Chief of the Defence Staff and former commander of KFOR, the Ministry of Defence said.

Most of injured KFOR soldiers are from Hungary and Italy. We consider you as a friends and didnt want to fight with your soldiers but nato commanders knew that and push them forward. Let us, british or dutch soldiers first.
What happened to the “brotherly” relations between Serbia and Hungary they were just proclaiming two days ago. Serbs are violently attacking Hungarian soldiers and spray painting Z on their vehicles. These are not peaceful people. They are consumed with ethnic hatred that has never gone away since the Serbians committed genocide in the 90s. President Vucic won’t even acknowledge the genocide but Szijjarto gets along with him fantastically and has the gall to talk about how Serbians treat minorities well. Szijjarto must have forgot Srebrinica. The Serbs have a long way to go. They need to live up to their war crimes.
my question is why would nato troops act as enforcers of the kosovar government. as for the demented american larry talking about hate, i will only say that – may God give you back all the “love” you gave to Serbia i each year from this one to the end of the world. Love!
