Sveçla: Kosovo remains a serious partner of Europol

Interior Minister Xhelal Sveçla met today with Europol Director Jürgen Ebner on the sidelines of the EU-Western Balkans Ministerial Forum on Justice, which is being held in Budva, Montenegro.

Sveçla said the Republic of Kosovo remains a serious partner of Europol and that cooperation based on the agreements signed so far continues to produce results.

In a Facebook post, he wrote that the meeting reaffirmed the success of joint operations against international criminal groups that threaten the security of Kosovo, the region and beyond.

As evidence of Kosovo’s commitment and determination to combat all criminal activity, Sveçla cited the recent “Trado 3” operation, carried out on November 3 of this year. The operation was led by Europol in coordination with seven European countries, including Kosovo.

He concluded by saying that cooperation with Europol would deepen, with the aim of achieving further joint results against international organized crime and strengthening security.
