KWN Continues Collaboration with NATO

NATO has welcomed the new Special Representative for Women, Peace and Security, Ambassador Marriet Schuurman on 24 October 2014. Her office expressed their readiness to continue collaboration with the Kosova Women’s Network (KWN).

This is very important for KWN, as its close collaboration with the former NATO Representative Mari Skåre has been very fruitful towards implementing United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1325 on Women, Peace and Security at the international level.
