Hashim Thaci said in an interview from New York that Kosovo has no alternative plan or plan other than the formation of the army, which, according to him, will happen by the end of this year, but that statement was rejected by the Serbian minister Vulin.
Asked about these statements by Thaci, he confirmed that there could be only one armed army in Kosovo, and that is KFOR's challenge, Kosovo reports.
These positions, Volin, have said, presented them to NATO personnel as he visited there.
Kosovo's “Army will not be formed on the territory of Kosovo and Metohija, on the territory of the Serbian province -- it is just an armed force -- this force is KFOR”, he said.
Voulin has added that Thaci's statements are for internal consumption rather than real policy.
“Every time Thaci doesn't know how to explain high unemployment in Kosovo, or why thousands of citizens leave and why he should implement the provisions of the Brussels agreement that speak against Kosovo independence, he remembers the army”.
