According to recent reports (which you are reported to) in KSF units have raised concerns about food services, namely cooks (various delays and sometimes when they are not on the job). In addition to the lack of kitchen personnel, which has an impact on food quality and food supply problems, we have sanitation problems, and the latter poses risks in poisoning and spreading infections to KSF personnel, It says his request.

Days ago, Defence Minister Ejup Macedonia said that since 2015 the supply has been made emergencyly and at the last minute, what has created space for misuse.
The one of the main goals that has been also set in the LVV programme has been to create as much resistance as possible in the military. Self-restraint in food is essential for function and KSF operation”.
So this is why we're going through this concept, except that we're going to save money, we're going to have a security in terms of supplying our food units, and we're going to have a non-dependence on the basic elements from operators that wouldn't be bad in normal condition but we can't plan to do it when we have operations and fighting...”He said.
