Ambassadors from the 26 member states had decided to discuss the 17 000 soldier strong mission "in order to adjust to the development of the situation on the ground," B92 quoted NATO spokesperson James Appathurai as saying.

NATO leadership would prepare a draft operational plan, "taking into account new tasks," Beta news agency was quoted as reporting.

It was unclear what those new tasks would be be, but Appathurai said that "all that NATO does will be within its UN mandata and with full consent of the 26 members," according to B92.
