United Arab Emirates, Kosovo Peace Keeping Force 1999 Medal; Kosovo Humanitarian Force 1999 Medal, both by Eng Leong, Singapore, both mounted on pin for wear, good very fine and better, extremely scarce (2)

The Kosovo Peace Keeping Force 1999 Medal was given to all ranks who served in the Albania Peace Keeping Force in 1999, which was based at Kukes on the Kosovo border. The design features the outline of Albania emblazoned with the word 'Kosovo', above which is the large U.A.E. military emblem, all encircled by palm branches.

The Kosovo Humanitarian Force 1999 Medal is distinct from the Kosovo Peace Keeping Force Medal of the same year, and is conversely awarded to all ranks of the U.A.E. force affiliated with N.A.T.O. who served in the Albania conflict. Humanitarian work was part of the force's duties, which included the U.A.E. Red Crescent Commission's establishment of the Shaikh Zayed Hospital in Kosovo. The Medal features a dove holding an olive branch, the famous symbol of peace, above which is the word 'Kosovo' and the U.A.E. military emblem also bordered by palm branches.
