Pristina: U.S. supports creation of Kosovo army
On the occasion, they "received words of support for the transformation of the KSF into the armed forces."According to the release, the meeting concluded that "the current year would be crucial" when it came to the transformation.
Thaci said that the entire process of "reconsidering of the security sector" as well as the transformation of the KSF into an army "is carried out with the support of NATO and the United States."
Farkas said that Kosovo had "full support of the United States in the security area," adding that "the steps made so far in the transformation of the KSF into the armed forces were making the road to joining the Partnership for Peace program and NATO a lot easier."
Kosovo's ethnic Albanians in early 2008 unilaterally declared independence, which Serbia rejected as a violation of its territorial integrity and Constitution. Belgrade opposes the creation of an army in Kosovo.
