A Moroccan contingent is currently deployed in Kosovo to extend humanitarian assistance to local inhabitants. The Moroccan National Committee of Support to Kosovo is headed by Princess Lalla Meriem.

The sovereign had asked the team of the FAR social works-- being part of the Moroccan contingent in Kosovo-- to integrate Muslims from kosovo among Moroccan pilgrims.
