CEPOL signs working arrangement with the Kosovo Academy of Public Security

On 24 March 2017, the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Training (CEPOL) and the Kosovo Academy of Public Security (KAPS) signed a working arrangement at the premises of the Academy in Vushtrri (Kosovo*). CEPOL was represented by its Executive Director, Prof.h.c. Dr. Ferenc Bánfi, while Mr. Skender Hyseni, Minister of Internal Affairs, participated on behalf of Kosovo*.

The signing of this working arrangement represents an important step forward for CEPOL to cover the area of the Western Balkans as part of its external relations. By allowing law enforcement officials from Kosovo* to participate at CEPOL’s training activities, CEPOL aims at contributing to enhance the security of the European Union as a whole.

The Kosovo Academy of Public Security (KAPS) becomes CEPOL’s national contact point for Kosovo* as a consequence of this working arrangement.
