(ANSA) - PRISTINA - According to Italian major general
Salvatore Cuoci, Kfor commander (Kfor is the Nato-led
peacekeeping mission in Kosovo), the potential transformation of
the Kosovo Security Force into a real regular army will be a
long and complex process and it may take ten years.
Participating in a broadcast interview conducted by Kosovar
KTV, Cuoci said this is not a simple process that can be
achieved overnight. ''At any rate, when the decision is made, it
will take at least ten years to form the army, it's not just a
matter of transformation or transition, but it's mainly a matter
of armaments, military supplies, training, skill''.
Nato, the major general underlined, supports the creation of
an army in Kosovo provided, however, that it takes place with
the necessary amendments to the constitution of Kosovo. Serbia
is strongly opposed to the creation of a Kosovar army, since its
government does not recognize Kosovo's independence. (ANSA).
