V tem sporazumu: – »Nato« pomeni Organizacijo severnoatlantskega pakta, njena pomožna telesa, njena vojaška poveljstva, posebej ustanovljena za namene operacije ter vse dele/enote držav članic Nata, ki predstavljajo kateri koli del teh sil ali podpirajo te sile, pod usklajenim poveljstvom Nata, ki delujejo v podporo operaciji, jo pripravljajo ter v njej sodelujejo; – »Natovo osebje« pomeni vojaško, civilno in pogodbeno osebje, ki ga Nato oziroma njegove države članice, ki sodelujejo v operaciji, določijo ali najamejo ali je z njimi povezano, razen lokalno najetega osebja; – »operacija« pomeni podporo, izvajanje, pripravo in sodelovanje Nata in Natovega osebja v zvezi z namestitvijo učinkovite mednarodne civilne in varnostne prisotnosti na Kosovu; – »tranzit« pomeni vstop zaradi prehoda čez ozemlje Republike Slovenije po zraku, cesti, železnici ali notranjih vodnih poteh in prisotnost na ozemlju Republike Slovenije do takšne mere, kot je potrebna za tak prehod brez nepotrebne zamude. 2. Vlada Republike Slovenije dovoli prost in neoviran tranzit čez ozemlje Republike Slovenije, vključno s slovenskim zračnim prostorom in teritorialnim morjem, po kopnem, železnici, cesti, vodnih poteh ali zraku za vse Natovo osebje in tovor, opremo, blago in kakršna koli sredstva, vključno s strelivom, ki ga Nato potrebuje za izvajanje operacije. 3. Vlada Republike Slovenije po najnižjih možnih stroških zagotovi ali pomaga zagotoviti take zmogljivosti ali storitve, ki jih določi Nato in ki so potrebni za prost in neoviran tranzit. 4.(i) Za blago, ki ga Nato po tem sporazumu prevaža v tranzitu čez slovensko carinskega območje se carinski nadzor izvaja v skladu z Natovim dokumentom – obrazec 302- ali popisom blaga, ki ga vsebuje vnaprejšnje obvestilo o tranzitu iz točke (iii) četrtega odstavka. (ii) Organi Republike Slovenije z vsemi primernimi sredstvi olajšajo premike vsega osebja, vozil in/ali dobav skozi pristanišča in letališča oziroma po železnici ali cestah. Za vozila, ladje in letala v tranzitu ni potrebno dovoljenje ali registracija niti komercialno zavarovanje. Nato lahko uporablja letališča, železnico, ceste in pristanišča brez plačila dajatev, pristojbin, cestnin ali stroškov ali kakršnih koli drugih davščin. Natu se ne smejo zaračunati nobeni stroški za spremstvo katerega koli cestnega prevoza, ne glede na to ali so tovornjaki v državni lasti ali najeti. Natu se ne smejo zaračunati nobeni stroški za zračno plovbo, prelet, pristajanje, parkiranje ali vzletanje letal, ki jih upravlja Nato ali ki jih drugi upravljajo zanj. Prav tako se ne smejo zaračunati stroški za ladje, ki jih upravlja Nato ali ki jih drugi upravljajo zanj, za vplutje v pristanišča ali izplutje iz njih. Nato ne zahteva oprostitve plačila razumnih stroškov za storitve, ki jih zahteva in prejme, vendar tranzita ne smejo ovirati nedokončana pogajanja o plačilu takih storitev. Oprema se prevaža v posebnih zabojnikih, v skladu z mednarodnimi konvencijami o prevozu razstreliv in drugih nevarnih snovi. (iii) Nato najavi organom Republike Slovenije vsak tranzit s podatki o vstopnem prehodu vstopa, številu vozil v konvoju, enotah v tranzitu in osnovni splošni opis blaga. Najava se pošlje vsaj 24 ur pred predvidenim vstopom, razen če ni dogovorjeno drugače. Prevoz bo potekal po skupno dogovorjeni poti. 5. Natu je dovoljeno, da ima na vsaki Natovi uniformi, prevoznem sredstvu, opremi in napravah svojo zastavo in/ali državne zastave nacionalnih delov/enot v njegovem sestavu. 6. Nato lahko uporablja svoje telekomunikacijske storitve. To vključuje pravico do brezplačne uporabe sredstev in storitev, potrebnih za zagotavljanje polne zmogljivosti komuniciranja in pravico do uporabe elektromagnetnega spektra kot je dogovorjeno za ta namen. O pogojih v zvezi z uporabo telekomunikacij se dogovorijo Nato in pristojni slovenski organi. Uporaba teh sredstev ne bo kakor koli poškodovala obstoječih nacionalnih sistemov komunikacij ali jim škodovala. 7. Če spori glede razlage ali uporabe tega sporazuma niso rešeni, se rešujejo med Republiko Slovenijo in predstavniki Nata po diplomatski poti. 8. Za lažje izvajanje podrobnosti v zvezi s tem sporazumom se lahko sklenejo dodatni dogovori. 9. Vlada Republike Slovenije dodeli za tranzit nečlanicam Nata in njihovemu osebju, ki sodeluje v operaciji, enake privilegije in imunitete kot jih po tem sporazumu priznava državam članicam Nata in njihovemu osebju. 10. Če v tem sporazumu ni drugače predvideno, se v zvezi z operacijo, uporabljajo določbe PzM SOFA ne glede na to, da so nekatere države podpisale ne pa še ratificirale PzM SOFA. 11. Sporazum začne veljati na dan, ko se pogodbenici obvestita o tem, da so izpolnjeni vsi njuni zahtevani postopki za začetek veljavnosti sporazuma; začasno se uporablja od dneva njegovega podpisa. 12. Sporazum velja do konca operacije; vendar ga vsaka pogodbenica lahko kadar koli odpove s 30-dnevnim odpovednim rokom. Da bi to potrdila, sta podpisana, ki sta bila za to pravilno pooblaščena, podpisala ta sporazum. Sklenjeno v Bruslju 30. julija 1999 v dveh izvirnikih v angleškem in francoskem jeziku, pri čemer sta obe besedili enako verodostojni. Za Vlado Republike Slovenije Matjaž Šinkovec l. r.
