Kosovo, Austria finalise judicial co-operation agreement

The negotiating teams of the Republic of Kosovo and the Federal Republic of Austria have negotiated and envisioned the Judiciary Co-operation Agreement on Criminal Affairs.

The agreement aims to further strengthen co-operation between the two countries in the field of criminal justice, through the establishment of a clear legal framework for facilitating and advancing international judicial co-operation.

Its campaign includes extradition, mutual judicial assistance in criminal cases, the transfer of convicted persons, as well as other forms of judicial co-operation, with the aim of increasing efficiency in dealing with relevant requirements and procedures.

The realisation of this agreement represents an important step in deepening co-operation between the Republic of Kosovo and the Federal Republic of Austria, as well as strengthening joint efforts to prevent and combat cross-border and transnational crime, the Justice Ministry reports.
