The Kosovo government today has sent to the Assembly the constitutional amendments for the establishment of the Kosovo Armed Forces. Prime Minister Isa Mustafa said at today’s government meeting that the Armed Forces are not being established on ethnic basis but for all Kosovo people. The two Serb ministers coming from the Serbian List, Branimir Stojanovic and Dalibor Jevtic, voted against the transformation of the Kosovo Security Force into the Armed Forces. Stojanovic said that the Serb representatives could not support the amendments even in the previous debate due to the lack of a broader debate. “We expect a broader debate and for the time being we cannot support these amendments. The Serbian List will hold the same position in the Assembly, hoping that there will be a debate on how the Serbian List will be represented in the Armed Forces,” Stojanovic said. Lajmi notes that since 2008 when the Kosovo government was led by then-Prime Minister Hashim Thaci, this is the first time that some ministers have voted against.
