The Kosovo Police urged citizens to report any information regarding illegal weapons, narcotics, or other criminal activity immediately via 192 or through the “Report to Police” app.
Following the seizure, Acting Interior Minister Xhelal Sveçla stated that there is no longer a safe haven for criminals or elements threatening public security. He emphasized the government’s commitment to law, order, and public safety.
“No part of our territory is a shelter for criminals, weapons, or any elements that threaten the security of our country. Today, in the basement of a collective building in northern Mitrovica, two weapons, various ammunition, magazines, a gas mask, and handcuffs were found. We remain committed to law and order, security, and stability for our citizens and for the Republic,” Minister Sveçla wrote.
