In 2001 FYROM was on the brink of civil war, but with international mediation, a peace settlement was reached between the government and the ethnic Albanian National Liberation Army (NLA).
On 7 June 2001 the FYROM President requested NATO support to ensure the withdrawal and disarmament of the NLA, and the NAC agreed. On 27 August 2001 NLA fighters began handing over weapons to the NATO-led Task Force Harvest in FYROM. This force also secured and assisted the transportation of weapons and ammunition to the main destruction site in Greece.
