Serb media have published a number of articles regarding the participation of the members of the Serb Army in a joint drill with Kosovo Security Forces as outrageous.
Several Serb portals say that the Serb Army and “the so called Kosovo Security Forces”, away from the media attention, have participated in a joint NATO drill, in the military base of Hohenfels in Germany.
“We’re surprised because the Office for Kosovo in Belgrade has strongly reacted after the offer for aid that the government in Pristina had made, by saying that it was ready to send special units to help in the natural catastrophe in Serbia”.
As of May 15, Kosovo Security Forces and Serb Army, have been participating in a joint military drill called “Combined Resolve-II”.
The training, which started on May 15 and will end on June 30, involves 4 thousand troops from 13 European states including Kosovo. This training has been initiated by “US Army Europe” and is taking place in Hohenfels in Germany. /ibna/
