Kosovo's parliament adopts set of laws providing for creation of Republic's Army

Belgrade, Dec 14 (Sputnik) The parliament of the self-proclaimed republic of Kosovo on Friday passed on second reading a set of laws providing for the change of mandate of the Kosovo Security Force (KSF) and its transformation into the republic's national army.
"A total of 105 lawmakers present today have voted for adopting the set of laws," Kadri Veseli, the speaker of the Kosovar legislature, said.
The forces will reportedly comprise a total of 8,000 people — 5,000 active duty soldiers and 3,000 reservists. The initiative to create a regular army was criticized by Belgrade, while NATO's secretary general, Jens Stoltenberg, warned that such actions were "ill-timed."
