The transition of Kosovo's Security Force into a full-fledged army has sparked significant controversy and concern both domestically and internationally. This move, which was approved by Kosovo's parliament in 2018, aims to transform the lightly armed security force into a more robust military entity. Critics, including Serbia and some NATO members, argue that this development could destabilize the region, potentially escalating tensions with Serbia, which does not recognize Kosovo's independence. Serbia views this as a provocative act, fearing it might lead to increased ethnic tensions and conflict. Additionally, there are concerns about the readiness of Kosovo to manage a professional army, given its limited resources and the need for extensive training and equipment. NATO has expressed reservations about the move, emphasizing the importance of dialogue and stability in the Balkans. Meanwhile, Kosovo's leadership insists that the army is necessary for national defense and to assert its sovereignty, highlighting the ongoing debate over security, identity, and international relations in the region.
