How did Haradinaj convince the US to do the Kosovo Army?

A meeting of former Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj at the Pentagon with Defence Secretary James Mattis in the US eventually preceded the formation of the Kosovo Army. Haradinaj assured in February 2018, the Pentagon that Kosovo has made the necessary progress and that it has the capacity needed to convert the KSF into the military. So it also received the Pentagon's full assurance that it is ready to assist Kosovo on every stage of this project. A few months after that, Kosovo's guarantee was made with the army, until Haradinaj as prime minister declared that peace armies were led by America and that Kosovo has the honour to line up after America.

Former Prime Minister and Kosovo Presidential candidate Ramush Haradinaj, in February 2018, had held one of the most important meetings as prime minister in the US. On an official visit to the Pentagon, Haradinaj assured that Kosovo has made the necessary progress to form the military.

Haradinaj, from Defence Secretary James Mattis, received assurances that Petagon was ready to help Kosovo on Kosovo's road to having its army.

We have achieved the right to live free from the timely assistance of the American Army and NATO. It's a big luck that over the years, we continue to have these same partners on our side. Happy to see Secretary Mattis and the Pentagon's readiness, to help Kosovo, on our right track to have our army”, delivered the great news from the US during this visit to Haradinaj.

Secretary Mattis had expressed the willingness and full dedication of the American Government to help Kosovo in all processes through which Kosovo was going through. But the particular emphasis was on putting strong support to the KSF and the process related to transforming this force into the previous strategic plan.

Through a military honour at the Pentagon, Haradinaj Secretary Mattis confirmed that the US would work closely on implementing each stage of the plan.

Several months after this important visit, while Haradinaj was prime minister, the Kosovo Assembly eventually adopted three laws, with which the transformation of the Kosovo Security Force into the Kosovo Army is possible.

Although the KSF's name does not undergo changes due to the inability to constitutional changes, adopted laws are estimated to give the KSF military capacities during a transformation process within several years.

It was the Law for the Ministry of Defence, the Kosovo Security Force and the Ministerial Law in the Kosovo Security Force.

So December 14th marked a historic day and one of the most important decisions since Kosovo's declaration of independence in 2008.

Ramush Haradinaj, after voting on the formation of the military, had said Kosovo was entering the last line of peace armies in the world.

The “Porosia that leads Kosovo today is that peace we have won with much pain, for peace our allies have helped us. We are the last to have come in peace, and we will leave peace. No one can distance us from the line of peace”, Haradinaj was expressed.

Haradinaj stressed that peace armies led America, underlining that Kosovo -- both as a people and as an army -- has an honor to line up with America.

He declared that the Kosovo Army will never turn against its people.

The Kosovo Army will never turn against anyone, so not against its people. Serbs, as in the south, as in the north, are people of this country, the army is theirs, they have to serve in this army tomorrow and not only they, but all living in Kosovo”, Haradinaj has declared.
