Iceland–Kosovo relations

Refugees In 1999, Iceland received 75 refugees that were fleeing the Kosovo War. By early 2000, around half of them had returned home, many at the request of Kosovo authorities. In 2005, it received another group of refugees from Kosovo. KFOR In the early 2000s, Iceland participated in the KFOR mission in Kosovo, with its peacekeepers taking over the management of the Pristina International Airport and training of civilian staff from Italian peacekeepers in 2003. It handed over management of the airport to civilian authorities on 1 April 2004. It was later tasked with assisting the KFOR with the control of the lower airspace in the country. ==High-level visits==
