“For the Kosovo Police all over Kosovo it’s important to show to everyone that they’re able to mobilize on a day like this and I’m very glad that EULEX is here to support you.” Head of Mission said. “It’s not only important to show to the people of Kosovo, but also to the whole world, that Kosovo Police is in charge.”

The station commanders all expressed gratitude to EULEX for the support provided to the Kosovo Police.
