Kosovo’s army’s uncertain path
Hashim Thaci’s game is more likely to trigger elections in Kosovo than to transform KSF into Kosovo’s army this year.
Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that the KSF is a protector of Kosovo’s territory. And such a mandate is not even proposed for Kosovo’s army in the bill put forward by the president’s office.
