In an interview to Insajderi news website, the US Ambassador Greg Delawie said that Kosovo should have an army but that this should be done through constitutional amendments and in consultation with all communities in Kosovo. Delawie dismissed statements by Kosovo officials that the creation of the Kosovo army is happening in full coordination with international partners. “This is not how we envisaged the process to take place. This does truly not reflect the content of discussions we had with Kosovo Government officials more recently,” he said. The US ambassador called on Kosovo institutions to halt the initiative for Kosovo Security Force (KSF) transformation at this point in time. He said the leadership should consider potential “consequences” if it moves forward with its initiative. “I hope the Government of Kosovo will stop and begin an effort to secure wider support of communities in Kosovo for this step and work the way we always discussed.” Asked what those consequences could entail, Delawie said: “I hope I will never have to find out.”
