Kosovo's cadets forge ahead
BBC is doing a series of reports from Kosovo starting with the one below.
With the UN proposal for Kosovo's final status envisaging a new security force, the BBC's Patrick Jackson visits Pristina's fledgling military academy to meet the cadets.
"The future starts here," reads the sign above the entrance to the academy, based in the Kosovo Protection Corps (KPC) training centre on a hill above the once Serbian-run city.
Judging by the Albanian national flags around the site, the future at Pristina's two-year-old military academy is distinctly Albanian but the 23 cadets within are training for Kosovo, says Maj Valon Ahmeti, one of its officers."We accept the best cadets, male or female, Albanian or non-Albanian - it is important to be Kosovans, people from this country," he told the BBC News website.
