Abstract:
The idea for writing this policy paper came up as a result of the project drafted by the KCSS experts for “Democratic Control of the Security Institutions”. The initial stage of this project foresaw professional policy paper for “establishment, operability and democratic functionality of the Kosovo Security Force”. The work done for this document would not be finished without the support of partners and donators. First of all, it is worthwhile mentioning the initial support of Kosovo Foundation for Open Society. In particular we would like to thank “Universum” University for allowing space (office) for KCSS purposes.

Abstract:
Kosovo Security Council (KSC) is undoubtedly one of the main pillars of security sector. The Constitution of Republic of Kosovo provides it with the key authority for policy making and advising on security issues. It is worth of noting that other countries have also foreseen Security Council in their legislation, whereby it is called “Council of National Security” or “National Security Council” while in Kosovo, in compliance with the UN Envoy, President Ahtisaari’s Comprehensive Settlement Plan on Status Resolution,1 it is described as Kosovo Security Council.
