James Blunt arrives in Kosovo to shoot documentary on KFOR

Pristina - British pop singer James Blunt arrived in Kosovo Monday to begin shooting a documentary about his service in Kosovo Force (KFOR), the NATO-led international force in Serbia's breakaway province, KFOR officials said.
Blunt is also due to hold a concert for KFOR members in Kosovo's capital Pristina during his three-day visit.
Blunt served in KFOR in 1999, early after NATO intervened to stop the conflict between ethnic Albanian insurgents and Belgrade security forces.
Though Kosovo is formally still a Serbian province, it is administered by the United Nations. The majority ethnic Albanian population in the province is pushing for independence, while Serbia insists on giving it only wide autonomy.
British singer-songwriter James Blunt, 32, rose to fame with his debut album Back to Bedlam and the hit single You're Beautiful in 2005.
