   The soldiers of the Guard's 2nd Battalion, 135th Infantry, headquartered in Mankato, have been stationed in Kosovo since October as part of a nearly 16,000-member NATO security force, including 1,400 U.S. troops.Their main mission is maintaining peace between minority Serbs and the majority ethnic Albanians, who make up about 90 percent of the population.
   
   Pawlenty and Shellito toured part of the country today by motor vehicle and helicopter.Starting from the unit's well-equipped base at Camp Bondsteel, they visited troops at rugged tent Camp Vrello, toured Vitina, the main city the unit protects, and made stops in three small villages before returning to the base for a town hall meeting with soldiers.
   
   The governor said their mission has succeeded in preventing violent incidents."Their presence here says to the people of Kosovo: We want to be here to try to provide a secure environment so that this country can develop and grow," he said.
