The military concept is well known, but I think that everyone will be pleased and proud of the jobs that they’ve done, as well as with their new positions, whatever they may be,” Mujota said. Selimi also called on the government to send a draft law to parliament to regulate the pension status of those KPC members unable to participate in the new Security Forces. Under the Ahtisaari plan, the Security Forces will comprise 2,500 regular soldiers and reservists, and will, according to NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer, have the same powers as the French gendarmerie. Media in Pristina have stated that General Selimi is the most serious candidate to head the future Security Forces, and that he also has the support of the international community. The selection of Security Force officials and members will be conducted in close cooperation with KFOR and NATO.
