Interior Affairs Minister Jedal Svecla has argued the absence of Kosovo Police uniforms to increase the number of police officials, saying the needs for equipment and clothing are constantly being addressed.
Reporting to MPs, Svechla has not indicated when police uniforms were purchased for the last time, but has announced that the supply contract has already been signed and that uniforms are expected to arrive these days.
Kosovo Police have 180 active contracts, worth over 70m euros, including investments in equipment, uniforms and drawers, services, information technology, construction and renovations. Of course, as police officials increase their needs for equipment, uniforms, and underwear. But these needs are being addressed and are constantly being met, he declared.
During his speech, the minister has also stressed the increase in the Kosovo Police budget, claiming that from 2021 until now it has increased by about 60 percent.
Despite the minister’s statements on police equipment in necessary uniforms and underwear, however, police officials have reported that in some cases they are forced to buy shoes with their money.
The Kosovo Police are equipped with all the uniforms, equipment and drawers needed for fulfilling its duties. In 2021, we found the Kosovo Police budget worth 109m euros, which in the following years we have raised to 173m euros, or about 60%, Svechla said.
