The chief of the so-called Kosovo Security Force, or the KSF, is a war criminal says the leader of Serbia’s Demochristian Party Vladan Batic.
The commander of the KSF troops, Sulejman Selimi also known as the Sultan, is a man with a criminal past and is involved in numerous war crimes says Vladan Batic.
In 2001, says Batic, the Hague war crimes court approached the Serbian Ministry of Justice for evidence on crimes Selimi committed.
THe Hague court at the time, told the Serbian ministry that they are investigating Selimi for crimes committed while he was in the Kosovo Liberation Army or the KLA.
KLA was on the US list of terror organization until suddenly Washington decided that they are not.
Batci says that Selimi was a commander of the KLA units in the village of Lipovac.
KLA was engaged in murder, torture and ethnic cleansing of Serbs through out Kosovo.
Selimi was approved by NATO to lead the KSF.
NATO spokesman James Appathurai has welcomed Serbs to join the KSF and has a plan to find a Serb who can act as a deputy commander of the force.
The head of the KSF recruitment team, French Major Stephan Mari, has stated that no Serb has registered for the new formation.
KFOR Commander Lieutenant General Giuseppe Emilio Gay stated that dissatisfaction and open reacting against the manner in which the candidates were recruited was demonstrated only a few days after the forming of the Kosovo security forces.
Gay said that all ethnic communities in Kosovo have a “moral obligation” to join KSF.
In past few days, three ethnic Albanians have resigned from the KSF claiming lack of recruitment “transparency”.
NATO insists that KSF is not a Kosovo army. Kosovo Albanian separatist media, however, refers to the new military formation as an Albanian army.
Russian Ambassador Aleksandr Konuzin said that the formation of the KSF means remilitarization of Kosovo and said that only the UN Security Council could regulate the organization of the system in Kosovo, including security.
Konuzin expects the Security Council “to discuss the so-called Kosovo security forces when considering the UN secretary-general’s next declaration on Kosovo’s status,”
Serbian Foreign Minister Vuk Jeremic has said that he will hold consultations in New York regarding the scheduling of a Security Council session to discuss the regular United Nations report on the developments in Kosovo.
“The Kosovo Security Force would be one of the most important items on the agenda of this session,” Jeremic said.
