The Kosovo Police has continued modernizing its fleet with new vehicles, with the aim of increasing work efficiency and bringing neighborhood policing closer to citizens.

On Monday, according to an official statement, 14 hybrid vehicles were allocated to the sectors where neighborhood police officers operate. The vehicles will be used to cover sector areas in all regional directorates.

A separate vehicle was handed over to the Directorate of Cultural Heritage.

According to the Police, the new vehicles will help improve the speed and efficiency of services within the framework of Community Policing, enabling officers to respond more closely to citizens’ requests and needs.

The institution considers this investment part of efforts to strengthen communication and cooperation with the community, as well as to increase transparency and trust in institutions.

At the height of the tourist season, heavy movement of travelers and vehicles was recorded around midday today on both sides of the border between Albania and Kosovo.

At Morinë, an increase in the number of citizens and vehicles entering Albanian territory was observed. The counters are operating at full capacity and, despite the influx, there have so far been no reports of long queues or significant delays.

Increased traffic is also being reported at the Vërmicë border crossing, in the direction of Kosovo. Most of the travelers are citizens of Kosovo returning after holidays on Albania’s coast, as well as members of the diaspora traveling toward their homeland.

Citizens who had chosen Albania to spend the weekend or a few days on holiday are also returning to Kosovo.

The high number of vehicles has also placed additional pressure on traffic along the Nation’s Road. Traffic remains particularly heavy along the Kalimash Tunnel–Kukës–Morinë section.

A vehicle caught fire near the wall of the electrical substation in the Çlirimi neighborhood of the city of Lushnje. Firefighters who arrived urgently at the scene extinguished the fire that had broken out inside the vehicle’s cabin, which was completely charred.

The timely intervention of the firefighters prevented the fire from spreading to the electrical substation and also to the houses attached to this neighborhood.

Experts from the scientific police, in collaboration with the firefighters, are working to determine the causes that led to the vehicle burning in this high-risk area due to the houses and the electrical substation.

In a video posted on social media, the tourist said that just minutes after getting off the bus, she found herself amid the festive atmosphere of an Albanian wedding.

“I got off the bus in North Macedonia… and five minutes later, without realizing it, I became part of an Albanian wedding car convoy,” she wrote in her post.

The tourist said she did not know any of those present, but decided to accept the invitation to join the celebration.

She wrote: “I had absolutely no idea who those people were, but when they told me to get in the car, my only thought was: ‘Well… either this is going to be the beginning of an amazing story, or a Netflix documentary.’”

In the end, she said she had an unforgettable experience and expressed her appreciation for Albanian hospitality.

“Thankfully, it turned out to be the first one. Albanians are so amazing! I love you all so much,” she said.

Through her post, Alindogan also called on her followers to help her find the two Albanians who invited her into the wedding car convoy.

“Internet, do your magic and help me find these two Albanians. I want to properly thank them for such a beautiful memory!” she said.

Meanwhile, students have chosen another way to protest. They also have a message for the police, whom they stress are acting with double standards.

“We are against double standards. Students should not be prosecuted while cars block the roads of Tirana, blocking traffic. We are protesting and our demands are clear. Fine the MPs and do not prosecute the students,” they said.
