The AMAE Threat Database

The information contained in this database has been obtained from physical evidence obtained by the Albanian Armed Forces (AAF) during the Kosovo conflict and the subsequent Level 1 Survey. It is almost certainly incomplete and will be reviewed as new data becomes available during the Level 2 and implementation phases of the Mines Action Plan (MAP).

For ease of reference, the table is divided into 2 parts - Mines and UXOs. [Database updated 31 March 00]
