Today I have come to visit the Police of the Republic of Kosovo, to offer the support of the institutions for the work and commitment of all men and women of the most important mechanism of security, but at the same time to offer our unsparing support to this institution which offers and provides security for all the citizens of the Republic of Kosovo throughout the country.
The Kosovo Police continues to be one of the institutions which have the respect and confidence of the citizens in general and this has been ongoing to the citizens of Kosovo and is a work in progress of this institution to continuously build the trust to all citizens.
The work of each member of the Police of the Republic of Kosovo in the provision of security to all the citizens of the Republic of Kosovo, has made that this level of credibility towards this institution to increase, but this credibility still requires a bigger backing and support by the institutions, but also by all the citizens of the Republic of Kosovo.
The Kosovo Police has continued to build the public trust and this of course will continue to operate because we are oriented to build a functioning state, a state which guarantees the safety of each citizen because only so we will be proving the democratic functioning of our state and that the Kosovo Police is also built on the principle of inclusion within this institution itself.
The recent operation of the Kosovo Police against certain individuals suspected of terrorist acts has testified the coordination between the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo, but certainly it has testified the unwavering commitment of this institution to maintain and guarantee the national security of our state.
We are committed to ensure the freedom of each citizen of our state and justice functions for all the citizens of the Republic of Kosovo and whoever is not on this side, certainly will face law and order.
