The European Union Mission for the Rule of Law in Kosovo (EULEX) sent six police advisors who will work in four Kosovo Police stations in the north of the country.

The deployment took place on Thursday and aims to strengthen the advisory and monitoring capacity of this mission, EULEX announced.

Deployment will initially last for two months, with the possibility of continuation “until the Mission has created a long-term police advisory capacity in the north of Kosovo”.

“In particular, the ES of EULEX will advise the Kosovo Police on how to better carry out regular police activities while preventing and fighting crime and providing security, while also monitoring compliance with their obligations to human rights, to serve the communities they protect and to increase the confidence of the population through community-oriented police work”, announced EULEX.
