Biden's arrival threatens the reanimation of the US base in Kosovo
Current US President Joe Biden may revive the Camp Bondsteel military base in the self-proclaimed Kosovo.
Nikita Bondarev, associate professor of the Russian State University for the Humanities, stated this on the radio station “Moscow Speaks,” a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Camp Bondsteel is currently frozen. Initially huge, with great potential, it is now used at one tenth of its capacity and is in semi-conservation mode. Although, perhaps, under the current US President it will be unfrozen again. The Kosovo authorities’ relationship with Trump was not at all smooth sailing, but with the new administration it will be idyllic,” Bondarev said.
Camp Bondsteel is the main military base of the American contingent as part of the KFOR international mission in Kosovo. It was opened in December 1999, six months after the bombing of Belgrade. The headquarters of the US-led Multinational Task Force East is located there. The base is named after Staff Sergeant James Bondsteel, a “hero” of the Vietnam War.
Bondsteel has an area of 3,86 km². The base has its own running water, television, cinema, shopping center, grounds for football, basketball, volleyball and golf, library, indoor swimming pool, concrete bomb shelters.
