Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what the UK's financial contribution to the budgets of the (a) United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo, (b) European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo, (c) NATO Kosovo Force and (d) other international organisations' missions in Kosovo has been in each year since 2008.

The Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) has been unable to provide all the information requested. Where this is the case, we have provided an explanation.

(a) The UK's share of the budget for the United Nations Interim Administration Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) is paid from the UK's Peacekeeping Budget. Our contribution to this is funded from the Government's Conflict Stability and Security Fund (CSSF). The UK's share of the UN Peacekeeping Budget is currently 5.8%. Our payments to the UN Peacekeeping Budget for the last seven financial years are as follows:

Data prior to FY 2011/12 is not available on the FCO's current system. To search the archives would incur disproportionate costs.

(b) The UK's contribution to the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX) comes from our overall contribution to the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) budget, which is calculated on the basis of Member States' GDP. We do not make mission specific contributions. To give an indication of costs, we pay £34m per year to cover all EU CSDP Missions (Peacekeeping and non-Peacekeeping).

(c) The UK contributes to the NATO Kosovo Force through our overall contributions to NATO Operation Balkans, in accordance with the UK's NATO cost share in force at the time that the budget was set. Records accessible in the time available date back to 2009 and set out the UK's contribution to Operation Balkans:

(d) In 2018, the total funds allocated to the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) Field Operations was €79.5m, of which €17.4m was allocated to its mission in Kosovo. The UK's share of this allocation was 11.09%.
