Kosovo Security Force

If and when this happens it will only be as a result of the assessment that there is improvement on the ground, he told Kosovapress, Tanjug reported on Monday, citing UNMIK's Media Observer.

In the meantime, KFOR continues to perform its duties, continues to control the administrative boundary line, continues to guarantee a safe and secure environment for all, Cuoci said.

KFOR plays an important role for security and stability in Kosovo, and the NATO mission there means that any reduction in the number of troop would be based on the existing situation on the ground, he said.

NATO is concerned about a proposal to turn Kosovo Security Force (KSF) into an armed force without constitutional changes, writes the daily Vecrnje Novosti.

If the Serb List blocks the creation of an army in Kosovo through constitutional changes, Hashim Thaci will seek to do it through "the Security Force Law."

The Pristina-based Albanian language daily Koha Ditore reported this on Tuesday, according to Beta.

President Hashim Thaci has been criticised on social media for calling on the government of his cash-strapped country to send money to victims of the recent hurricane in the US.

NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR) will remain in Kosovo an Metohija "as long as needed," says US General Curtis Scaparrotti.

Serb (Srpska) List leader Slavko Simic has rejected claims that Serb representatives had "four conditions for the transformation of the KSF into an army."

He in this way denied the veracity of the statement made by outgoing Minister of the Kosovo Security Force (KSF) Haki Demolli.

A letter Hashim Thaci sent this week to NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg "most likely won't influence the position of the alliance."

The letter concerns the planned transformation of the Kosovo Security Forces (KSF) into an army.

KFOR commander Giovanni Fungo says the NATO troops in Kosovo "remain committed to preserving security and fulfilling their mission."

Fungo made the remark during his visit to the Serb enclave of Gorazdevac, near the town of Pec.

He also said that KFOR recognizes the Kosovo Security Forces (KSF) "only within its current mandate."
