The Kosovo Diplomatic Observer Mission was a group of independent observers sent to Kosovo during the Kosovo War.
In a compromise agreement between Milosevic and Boris Yeltsin in June 1998, the Serb government agreed to accept an observer mission, sent by outside countries. This was initially a group of approximately fifty diplomats from different countries, who acted as observers in Kosovo and relayed information back to the international community. Embassy staffs were augmented with additional military and diplomatic personnel.
Canadian called their involvement Operation Perseverance;
The KDOM reported that Serb forces continued widespread attacks even after Resolution 1199; in particular, KDOM reported on atrocities around Pristina.
KDOM reported that the bodies of several women and children had been found near the village of Gornje Obrinje to the west of Pristina. The victims had been shot in the back of the head at close range as they tried to escape.
However, KDOM succeeded in brokering a number of local ceasefires, encouraging the withdrawal of some Serb tanks and armoured vehicles from Kosovo.
In September, the Kosovo Verification Mission was set up to replace the KDOM; it was augmented by Operation Eagle Eye which provided additional evidence.
