Kosovo is
planning to convert its lightly-armed Kosovo Security Force into a full-fledged
army.
Established
in 2009, the force consists of 2,500 active and 800 reserve members and is
primarily responsible for crisis response.
Over the
past few years, it has been intensively trained by KFOR, which reports to NATO.
Based on the Kosovo Security Force’s success, the alliance will decide on the
future of the Kosovo army.
“NATO
nations are considering the right time for the KSF final endorsement,” KFOR
spokesman Alexander Willing said. “The North Atlantic Council, NATO’s highest
decision-making body, will make a political decision based on the assessment of
NATO’s military authorities,” he added.
The council
is expected to decide on the force’s status at its June meeting.
