The political scientist Dragomir Andjelkovic says that Belgrade once called on Serbs not to join this formation, but that this could in no way influence his decision.
– Pristina is working hard to create an illegal army and, in the interest of international credibility, is trying to get more members of the Serbian people for these formations.
On the one hand, Pristina manages to comfort the Serbs with money. On the other hand, a large number of Serbs who had previously joined KBS in accordance with Resolution 1244 and who were intended to cope with natural disasters and serve as an auxiliary force to the police, are starting to re-examine their participation, reporting that they are part of the Albanian paramilitaries. Trainings that can be used tomorrow to hit the North – says Andjelkovic.
According to last year's report, KBS had 247 members from minority communities, including Serbs. That same year, the number of Northern Serbs increased when 63 were taken in the formation of Kosovo.
– Serbs who have no experience with security forces, who are often unemployed youth, choose to enter these formations for money, while those who did previously part of these forces understand what they are and what is the danger. for the Serbian people, and leave them slowly.
I believe that this trend will intensify in the coming period and that Albanians will not be able to easily present their paramilitaries as a multinational force in the interest of all citizens. living in Kosovo – esteem the interlocutor.
Anđelković adds that this process of the Serbs is a matter of their moral decision and that there is no pressure at all. In other words, two-thirds of the votes in the "Kosovo Assembly" are needed to turn the KBS into a "Kosovo army".
The Prime Minister of Kosovo and leader of the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo, Ramush Haradinaj, has promised that 2018 will be not only the liberalization of visas for Kosovo, but also the year of the formation of the "Kosovo Army".
The KBS are the official armed forces in Kosovo and Metohija and are under the control and command of KFOR and the self-proclaimed "Republic of Kosovo".
The main tasks of KSF are the protection of the civilian population, ie. search and rescue, explosive device removal, fire extinguishing, etc. KBS were established on 21 January 2009 by the forces of the "Kosovo Protection Corps".
According to Martti Ahtisaari's plan, Kosovo has the right to light weapons, which can include up to 2,500 active soldiers and 800 soldiers in reserve. For the moment, KBS has more than 8,000 members and possesses weapons, tanks, air strikes and offensive weapons.
