Voting Approval: Draft Law

voting approval: We would like the government to make a step back and take the law off the table, Yee said in an interview with public broadcaster RTK. Earlier this month, President Hashim Thaci sent a draft law to parliament seeking approval to form a regular army, according to Metro News. Unlike constitutional amendments, the law does not require voting approval from Kosovo's ethnic Serbs and other minorities. Deputy Assistant Secretary of State Hoyt Brian Yee urged the government in Pristina during a visit to Kosovo to take the law off the table. Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008, which Serbia refuses to recognize.NATO and the United States have warned they would scale back military co-operation with Kosovo if the government transformed its lightly armed security force into an army without amending the Constitution. Yee repeated that Washington thinks the transformation should be made with constitutional amendments. The Western military alliance has helped train Kosovo's security force.
