NATO supports the development of the Kosovo Security Force (KSF) within its current mandate. The KSF is a professional force and a source of regional stability, said a NATO official in Brussels to Belgrade-based daily Danas, who wanted to remain anonymous and stressed that "it is important to say that when launching any initiatives regarding the mandate of the Kosovo Security Force, it should be fully consulted with all communities in Kosovo , as well as all NATO allies."

"NATO remains committed to the security and stability of Kosovo, through KFOR, the longest-running operation,'' said the interlocutor of Danas, answering the question of how the Alliance looks at the announcement of the transformation of the Kosovo Security Forces into the army, which are often arriving from Pristina these days.
