The EU Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX) and UN Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) are the only link that Kosovo institutions have with EUROPOL and INTERPOL, the news site reports. And even, it is these two missions, according to the news site, that decide what information to share with the local authorities. Meanwhile, the procedures for exchange of information with local institutions takes a long time, even in situations requring quick action. Donika Emini from the Kosovo Security Center says there are cases that take years to be processed. According to Emini, Kosovo could provide more information, in record time, which would be beneficial for INTERPOL and EUROPOL. Shpend Berbatovci, Public Information Officer for UNMIK said “UNMIK facilitates the exchange of police information from INTERPOL member-countries to Kosovo law enforcement authorities, and facilitates correspondence from Kosovo law enforcement authorities to INTERPOL member-countries in police-related matters, based on an appropriate request in compliance with INTERPOL rules and on the request of the Kosovo institutions. The role of INTERPOL and the kind of information member countries exchange and share is specified in INTERPOL’s Constitution. We work in accordance with INTERPOL service standards.”
