Serbian Leaders: Draft Law and Security Force

serbian leaders: The move was immediately denounced by Serbian leaders, who refuse to recognize the independence its former province declared in 2008, according to Hamilton Spectator. Relations between Kosovo and Serbia have been tense recently and the move is likely to make things worse. President Hashim Thaci sent a draft law to parliament last week seeking approval to form a regular army. NATO and the U.S. have warned they could scale back co-operation with Kosovo's security services if the government goes ahead with plans to transform its lightly armed security force into an army without amending the country's constitution. The president regretted that NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg mentioned potential consequences and asked him to clarify to NATO member countries they haven't put into question our sovereign right to create an army, but that they only question the approach. The Western military alliance has helped train Kosovo's security force. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
