After unilateral declaration of independence of Kosovo, the UÇK was dissolved, and a new paramilitary force has been established.
The Kosovo Security Force (KSF; in Albanian, Forca e Sigurisë së Kosovës, FSK; official website) is a new, professional, multi-ethnic, lightly armed and uniformed Security Force that is subject to democratic, civilian control. The mission of the KSF is to conduct crisis response operations in Kosovo and abroad; civil protection operations within Kosovo; and to assist the civil authorities in responding to natural disasters and other emergencies. Such duties will include search and rescue operations; explosive ordnance disposal; the control and clearance of hazardous materials; fire-fighting; and other humanitarian assistance tasks.

The first flag of KSF (photo) is based on the emblem of KSF, a dark blue and yellow shield with a rampant lion and a six-pointed star.
Sometime in mid of 2009, a new flag (photo) started to be used. The flag has a camouflage-like blue background, formed of six-pointed stars (photo). The KSF shield is placed in the center of the flag. The proportions of both flags are 2:3.
