The meeting came before the president’s meeting of the national defense council CSAT, one day before the EU starts deploying its mission in Serbia’s breakaway region of Kosovo.

The European Union will deploy a mission of nearly 2.000, which is likely to declare its independence on Sunday.

According to EUObserver, the EU on Wednesday gave its final operational go-ahead to the mission to be deployed to Kosovo. The actual deployment is to start on Saturday morning, Feb. 16.

Romania’s national defense council in January approved the deployment in Kosovo of 175 police officers and security forces.
