The Kosovo Police have issued a public advisory urging citizens to avoid the area near the U.S. Embassy in the Arbëria neighborhood of Prishtina this afternoon, as a large-scale crisis response exercise is scheduled to take place.
According to the announcement, the drill will run from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM and will involve increased presence of Kosovo Police officers and U.S. Embassy security personnel, as well as heightened use of police equipment, including loudspeakers, sirens, and other logistical tools.
The purpose of the exercise is to test response times, efficiency, and effectiveness of personnel and equipment, while also evaluating communication and coordination between relevant units and institutions in emergency situations. The drill aims to ensure a safe environment for citizens, diplomatic staff, and Kosovo institutions.
The Kosovo Police emphasized that these joint exercises with the U.S. Embassy demonstrate the continued strengthening of security cooperation and readiness to respond to any potential incidents in Kosovo.
