According to Sveçla, the Kosovo Police budget has risen from €109 million to €173 million, an increase of approximately 60 percent. He said a total of €732 million had been allocated to and spent on the institution over the past five years.
Speaking about supplies, Sveçla stressed that administrative and procurement procedures would not stand in the way of the government’s commitment or the development of Kosovo Police.
The acting minister called on police supervisors and management to ensure that government support translates into more efficient work by officers. He described their success in serving citizens as a shared responsibility and goal.
