Interior Affairs Minister Xhelal Svecla has welcomed the joint action of the Kosovo Police, the Kosovo Agency for Intelligence and Prosecutorship, which resulted in the crackdown on an organised criminal group dealing with trafficking and distribution of cocaine in the Pristina region.

Through a post, Svechla has indicated that six suspected persons have been arrested under the coded operation.

Some 1.6kg of cocaine, other narcotics, including marijuana and ecstasy, have been seized during the operation, as well as assets worth about 301 thousand euros.

Svechla has stressed the importance of interilateral co-operation and professional investigations in fighting organised crime.

He has said that the fight against this phenomenon, which affects the whole society, especially the young, will be continuous and uncompromous.

According to him, Kosovo institutions will continue to support and strengthen the actions of security institutions and law enforcement to crack down on criminal groups at every level of their organisation.
