Kastrati: KSF has weak intelligence sector (Telegrafi)
In an interview for Klan Kosova, former commander of the Kosovo Security Force (KSF) Kadri Kastrati said that the KSF is ready to transform into an armed force but added that it has a weak internal intelligence sector. He said that even if the KSF transformed into Kosovo Armed Forces (KAF), KFOR would still have to maintain its presence in Kosovo. “To be part of NATO, we have to be an army with all parameters. At present, the KSF has no capacity to fight terrorism,” said Kastrati. He added that more efforts are needed in developing the intelligence sector not only within the KSF but also within the Kosovo Intelligence Agency and the Kosovo Police. Kastrati also said that the Ahtisaari’s status package does not prevent the KSF being armed up to a certain degree.
