Customs Officials in Kulla Detain Equipment Suspected of Military Use

During the inspection of vehicles entering through the Kulla border crossing, customs officers selected for inspection a car with foreign license plates, driven by a citizen of the Republic of Kosovo.

According to a statement released to the media, the traveler was interviewed and asked whether he was transporting goods or equipment requiring declaration, but he declared nothing.

Suspicions raised during the inspection prompted customs officials to conduct a detailed search of the vehicle. Inside, they discovered a scope intended for use with a sniper rifle, without the relevant documents or authorizations.

Customs detained the goods, while the appropriate measures were taken against the individual. A misdemeanour procedure has also been initiated, along with other administrative procedures, in accordance with the legislation in force.

Customs and Excise Code No. 08/L-247 stipulates that goods entering the customs territory of the Republic of Kosovo are subject to supervision and inspection by Customs. Where applicable, prohibitions and restrictions related, among other things, to public security are also imposed on them.
