Letter to the Reader — Why We're Asking for Your Support ContributeBerisha has announced that the number of members who have already submitted requests for removal exceeds the number of 40.
He expressed regret for the members of the KSF who, according to him, cannot decide freely about their future.
According to him, KSF has been, is and will be open to all communities.
"MFSK assesses that these requests come as a result of deliberate attacks on Serbian members, they were made to damage the progress, achievements and image of KSF. We feel sorry for our members who were not allowed to decide freely about their future".
"The Serbian participants have been very well integrated and at the level of their responsibilities. Blackmails and dances are unacceptable and a violation of human rights. The value is hindering those who want the good of Kosovo. The KSF will continue to fulfill its mission and complete the transition to the armed forces as a defense force".
"FSK has been, is and will be open to all communities. It is about group cases, the number exceeds 40 times. 137 Serbs are members of the KSF. Requests for removal will be decided according to the procedures and deadlines".
