“NATO does not decide on Kosovo Security Forces” (Tanjug, RTS, Radio Free Europe)
NATO supports development of the Kosovo Security Forces within the mandate they were established upon, and if it changes the North Atlantic Treaty Organization would reconsider the level of its engagement in Kosovo, NATO said, Serbian media reported.
“NATO does not decide on the structure, mandate and mission of the Kosovo Security Forces. This is an internal matter of the Kosovo institutions,” reads the NATO response sent to Radio Free Europe.
The response adds, in case the mandate of the Kosovo Security Forces changes, the Alliance would reconsider the level of its engagement in Kosovo.
Radio Free Europe also reminded the establishment of Kosovo army is possibly only based on constitutional amendments, which requires two-third majority, and equal support of MPs from minority communities, however Serb MPs are against it.
