Gecaj: It’s hard to believe that the KSF convoy entered North Mitrovica by mistake

Security expert Hysen Gecaj said it seems unbelievable to him that a convoy of the Kosovo Security Force (KSF) entered North Mitrovica by mistake, Ekonomia Online reports.

“I’m a bit surprised by everything we’re seeing in the media about this situation, because I myself was a member of the KSF for a long time, and even a soldier before that, and I know very well that when a military unit is given a task, it specifies in advance the route that the unit or group will take and what its concrete objectives are, and there is no room for error,” Gecaj told Ekonomia Online.

Such a mistake by the KSF seems surprising, especially since the soldiers are professionally trained, Gecaj said.

“It now seems somewhat unbelievable to me to say that such a mistake was made, because I know that KSF members are very well trained, and I don’t think, professionally speaking, that they would make such mistakes or oversights. Whether this could be due to inaccurate information in the public or some manipulation involving a KSF operation, those are other questions I can’t answer, since I wasn’t there. But I don’t think the information being shared publicly fully reflects what might have actually happened,” he said.

According to Gecaj, all of this could also have happened due to some irresponsibility on the part of KSF officials.

“It is hard to believe that KSF non-commissioned officers would make such mistakes, they could only do so if they were ordered to. In such cases, a ‘mistake’ could occur, so to speak, because they usually carry out detailed preparations on time, and it is difficult for such errors to happen. Or it could be part of a game, the purpose of which we don’t yet know, initiated by someone from the higher authorities, or simply the irresponsibility of someone in charge within the KSF,” Gecaj concluded.
