Kosovo Security Force (KSF) Minister, Haki Demolli, said President of Kosovo Hashim Thaci acted within the scope of his competencies when he initiated the transformation of the KSF but clarified that his ministry had prepared two years ago the proposal for constitutional amendments that would serve as legal basis for the creation of a Kosovo armed force. “For two years in a row, in 2015 and 2016, we submitted them to the government of Kosovo but the draft law was not processed any further because constitutional amendments were either not approved or not included in the agenda,” Demolli said. He stressed that the international community is insisting on the transformation being done through constitutional amendments so as to secure involvement of the representatives of the Serb community. “At the end of the day, KSF or the future Kosovo armed forces will be a multiethnic force with defence capacities that will act in the interests of all residents of Kosovo, regardless of their ethnic background.” Being as such, according to Demolli, it would be desirable that the transformation process enjoyed the support of all communities so that everyone had their share of responsibilities in the future force.  Demolli also said that preserving partnership with NATO and the US in the process of KSF transformation is important not only for Prime Minister Isa Mustafa and the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) but for all the people of Kosovo. “All of us, not just those in politics but ordinary citizens in Kosovo, want to see these two processes happening hand in hand,” Demolli remarked.
