Can the Kosovo Army go north? Haradinaj speaks

Thus has stated in an interview for Kosovapress, the country's Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj.

According to him, that mandate is to protect all of Kosovo, and anyone who does not do so violates the law and the constitution.

I assure you, it's a big difference, the competence is when you increase an element, we're giving it a mandate, a word just a mandate, only one word is to protect Kosovo, you know the difference. It's a difference, a competence for example, you could say... KSF ahead had firemen, that... that's one more sense adding, it's not. Competence has nothing to do with it, changes the mandate to”, Haradinaj has said.

Haradinaj hopes that when the draft law for the KSF goes to the second-read Assembly, it will get MPs' votes.

“The KSF also has an international guard, 20 per cent active, three per cent will stand in reserve. It's got the ground army, three units, so three units, so I call it that, I mention one in the north and it's thought I'm calling the army in the north, it's not like that. But as KFOR is organised, south-centre, our army is organized into three regions of responsibility, but not that we should go to attack the north with the army, and I'm being misunderstood in some things. But, as KFOR has the same structure today, ours will, that we have partnership with KFOR and we support KFOR. Since we support him in Pec, in Gjakova, we will also support him in every part of Kosovo”, Haradinaj has said.

Despite the nationality that has KSF members, Haradinaj says they will have to protect Kosovo, because, on the contrary, they will face the law.
