This number can be increased according to connoisseurs, KTV reports.
Labinot Greicevci from the European and Development Research Institute says the number of Serb members at KSF could drop to zero.
According to Greicevci, Belgrade's goal is for KSF in the eyes of internationals to look like mono-ethnic, non-ethnic force
While, from the Kosovo Security Force Ministry, they say they feel pity for the removal of these members, having been forced to leave.
Public Relations Department Director Ibrahim Shala, though he does not rule out the possibility of another wave of evacuations, says the competition for new recruits will be opened next year.
About 130 KSF members, or 5.5 per cent of the entire force, belong to the Serb community.
However, last month the Government of Kosovo has prosecuted three bills in the Assembly, which give him military mandate. The KSF, while the force's name for a while, will remain the same.
