14 years ago on March 14th, 1999, NATO began a bombing campaign on Serbia to stop harming the Kosovo Albanians. It was horrendous, as 7,000-9,000 Albanians and 2,000 Serbs were also killed. Houses were burned by Serb police, civilians beaten. The Albanians had burned important monasteries that dated back thousands of years. For the Serbs, Kosovo was their heart, but they risked that by beating innocents. Later, on February 17, 2008, Kosovo unilaterally declared independence from Serbia. More and more countries are recognizing the new state such as the US, UK, France, etc. However, Kosovo is growing now, and that includes the military/police. The current Kosovo Security Forces (Forca Segurise se Kosoves) is planning on forming a brand new heavily armed force. The current KSF is not an actual military, but instead protects borders and lots of other things. They are professionally trained by NATO. Currently, there are only 2,500 soldiers, 800 reserved. They are lightly armed with weapons like G36s, MP5s, Glock 17s, Uzis, AK47s, etc. They have been trained for a while now, and it's time for them to stand on their own.
