The Director General of the State Police, Skender Hita, paid an official visit to the Kosovo Police.

At the meeting, which was also attended by the Ambassador of the Republic of Albania to Kosovo, Petrit Malaj, as well as senior leaders of the two police forces, the very good level of cooperation between the two police institutions and the concrete results achieved in the fight against crime were appreciated.

"There are places that when you step foot in, you feel more than you can put into words. Pristina is one of them. And today, on my first official visit as Director General of the State Police, I do not feel this as a protocol obligation, but as a privilege, because I am among brothers," said the Director General of the State Police, Director Madhor Skender Hita, during the official meeting with the Director General of the Kosovo Police, Colonel Gazmend Hoxha.

The General Director of the Kosovo Police, Colonel Gazmend Hoxha, emphasized the importance of continuous coordination and operational cooperation between the two police forces, as a key factor in ensuring security, maintaining public order and strengthening the rule of law.

For his part, Hita thanked the leaders of the Kosovo Police for the hospitality and reconfirmed the readiness of the State Police to further deepen cooperation with the Kosovo Police in all areas of common interest.

"Crime today is more organized, more sophisticated and without borders. For this reason, our response must also be faster, more coordinated and stronger. Albania and Kosovo have built a model partnership between our two police forces and this cooperation will continue to be strengthened in the service of the security of our citizens", said Hita.

During the meeting, the strategic priorities of the two institutions, current security challenges, and the need to further increase cooperation in the fight against organized crime, cross-border crime, and other phenomena that undermine regional security were discussed.

Both leaders appreciated the cooperation so far in information exchange, joint police investigations and operations, as well as in border security management, emphasizing that the results achieved are evidence of mutual trust and professionalism of the police structures of both countries.

The meeting concluded with a joint commitment to further advance bilateral cooperation and expand it into other areas of mutual interest.
