Speaking in Pristina this week, US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Hoyt Brian Yee said: "We would like the (Kosovo) government to make a step back and take the law off the table."
Recalling that the United States and Kosovo are "strategic partners" and that Washington "from the beginning supported Kosovo as an independent and sovereign country," he told Kosovo's public broadcaster RTK that the question of establishing an army was "practical."
He mentioned "the number of troops, equipment, training" and "the support of allies and future allies - because we hope that Kosovo will one day be in NATO."
Another significant point is political, Yee added, "because there was an agreement between Kosovo and the United States and other partners that there would be consultations, coordination of all the elements."
So far, this coordination has not been sufficient, the US official remarked.
He also "urged Kosovo's political parties to approve the border demarcation agreement with neighboring Montenegro."
Yee spoke out against early parliamentary elections in Kosovo, stressing holding elections whenever difficulties arise in solving the problems was "not solution" - because this prevents progress.
During his two-day visit to Kosovo Yee met with President Hashim Thaci, Assembly President Kadri Veseli, Deputy Prime Minister Branimir Stojanovic, President of the Serb List Slavko Simic, Minister for Dialogue Edita Tahiri, Minister for the KSF Haki Demolli, KSF commander Rahman Rama and with the leader of the Self-Determination Movement Vsar Imeri.
Yee and the US embassy in Pristina did not make any statements or announcements after any of these meetings.
I like the way you guys act smart and all that.
This is just a camouflage until the time is right But anyway keep acting smart get happy all you want , when the time is right you'll all be surprised . Kosova will have an Army, and Albania constantly receiving weapon from the usa. Does that tell you anything , or maybe just keep laughing dummies
(Stupid serb, 31 March 2017 00:01)
It’s got nothing to do with being smart just being practical mate. You guys still don’t understand that a small place like Kosovo is unable to afford a standing army since the revenue base is non-existent and it would have to be funded by the US or EU.
On the matter of Albania receiving weapons from the USA, you might want to see the attachment on what Croatia got from the US gratis. This what you can expect as donations from the west - [link] For those that cannot read Serbian the essence of the article is as follows:
Croatia’s Morning List reports that after 2.5 years the 70 MRAP vehicles which were donated to Croatia by the US remain in a repair yard in Zagreb’s suburb, Jankomir, in need of bulletproof glass, but Zagreb was told the vehicles only needed a paint job and some required to be armed.

Yes I have read it.
What the US Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Hoyt Brian Yee said is about as meaningful as the letter from Trump to Vucic which said "The United States greatly values its close ties with Serbia. In other words I would not hold my breath waiting for an army to materialise. To use Donald Trump’s words, who is paying for this army?
Yee is jerking your chains, that all.

What are you going to do? Build a moat around Pristina and fill it with crocodiles?
Also, when the US says partners while describing you they don't mean it. They just can say "useful idiots".
If they were truly your partners and you were truly independent, there would be no need for them to approve anything.
You know what they do to their "partners" when they are no longer useful? Seeing how they won't approve an army for you speaks volumes.

Why are the albanians in here bragging about being partners of the US? Actually, they are lapdogs.
There is no pride in the name 'albanian'...

You can try and rationalize all you want to save face and minimize your shame. They give you false hope, and you brag about it. lol!
They have plans for you-their plans - and you will do as they say.
You are a strategic partner as long as they have use for you.
They won't allow you have an army because they simply don't trust you and it is not part of their plan.

Let the K Albanians embarass themself time after time by creating an army with a few armoured cars and some rifles from the west. Its so funny and you should hear what they say here in Brussels about K Albanians. No nice language. They are bitch-slapped every week now and the tide is turning. For God sake, the province (UNSCR 1244) already have a big army !!

The fact that the so called independent state of Kosovo needs approval for anything it does by its Western masters proves it is just a NATO colony being used as a whore for the pillaging of resources. LOL.
(Serbian - Canadian, 30 March 2017 15:43)
Why are the political cronies in Pristina limiting themselves to this issue, as there exsists many other options that can be utilized?
1 which an agreement is reached with the Republic of Albania, where The Republic of Kosova allocates funds for the establishment of a military bases within Albanias Northern Territory that border Kosova, then all Kosova has to do is purchase the equipment it needs, it then has access to that equipment via the many ports available! The Republic of Kosova is talking the talk, but she really needs to walk the walk, why are you limiting yourself unnecessarily numb nuts?
