The Kosovo Security Force[b] (KSF) is the military of Kosovo. The KSF is tasked with defending the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Kosovo, military support for civilian authorities, and participation in international peacekeeping missions and operations.[1] Since 2018, it is in the process of transforming into the Kosovo Armed Forces.
The President of Kosovo is the Supreme Commander of the Kosovo Security Force and has the competence to mobilize the Kosovo Security Force in cases of a state of emergency.[2] In peacetime, the President's powers as Commander-in-Chief are executed through the Prime Minister and the Defence Minister.
