Summary/Abstract: Calls for a Kosovo army have always been predicated on the notion that a small, orderly military force under NATO’s training would provide a professional alternative to the shadowy paramilitaries that have roamed Kosovo under different acronyms over the past decade. They all, however, have a common source (the Kosovo Liberation Army which fought the Serbs from 1997-1999). Now, the Great Powers want to make the TMK civil defense force into Kosovo's future army.
