Dies wird geschehen nach den bekannten "Standards", welche auch der Kosovo Premier versprochen hat bis Mitte 2005 zu erfüllen.
Kosovo Worries Behind South Serbia Army Changes

Fears of a potential crisis over negotiations on Kosovo's status in 2005 and the need to reform the army to meet NATO's standards lie behind controversial plans to restructure the Serbia and Montenegro Army, VSCG, in southern Serbia.
Under the plan, the VSCG intends to combine the Nis and Pristina corps to form a “Joint Command of Land Forces” in the area by mid-2005.
What has caused most controversy is the plan to house the joint force in a large new compound covering 52 hectares between the mostly Albanian towns of Bujanovac and Presevo.
The construction of the compound, to be finished by the end of 2005, has outraged local Albanians who say it will worsen tension between their community and the security forces.
The formation of the joint command means the Pristina corps will cease to exist. The corps lost its zone of responsibility after it was forced to withdraw from Kosovo in 1999 with the arrival of KFOR, the international peacekeeping force.
The Supreme Defence Council, the civilian body in charge of the army, resolved to form the joint command in south and east Serbia, covering one-third of Serbian territory, late in 2004.
Alongside the amalgamation of units, the plan involves replacing army conscripts in the border zone near Macedonia and Kosovo with professional soldiers, owing to the perceived risk of leaving conscripts to deal with a possible security crisis.
The reported outrage of the local Albanian population has fed speculation in the Belgrade media of a “hot spring” of conflict between Albanian rebels and Serbian forces in 2005.
For all their anger over the planned new compound, local Albanian politicians downplay talk of unrest. Naser Aziri, vice-chairman of the Democratic Party of Albanians, DPA, said, “We are not interested in causing any unrest in the region in the spring, as some people claim.
“Only if Serbia itself harbours such intentions, then people will rise up, to defend their families.”
A NATO official in Brussels told IWPR that the alliance was aware of Serbia's plans and had no objections. “Every effort to apply NATO standards [to the VSCG] is welcome,” he said.
“These measures... are good measures,” the official added. “The restructuring of the defence forces should be completed as one of the important conditions to join Partnership for Peace agreement.”
