- 21–22 October 2025: European Union’s HAPE Project Successfully Delivers the Second Training on International Police and Judicial Cooperation in Kosovo.
The European Union’s Home Affairs Programme in Kosovo (HAPE) successfully delivered the second training on international police and judicial cooperation on 21 and 22 October 2025 in Pristina. The activity, aimed at strengthening cross-border collaboration in criminal matters, brought together law enforcement and judicial officials from Kosovo and Albania. The training was designed and led by short-term experts Maurizio Varanese, Chief Inspector of the Italian Police, and Emanuele Marchisio, an Italian Prosecutor, alongside Mr. Marco Mosele, Judicial Cooperation Officer from Eurojust. Participants engaged in interactive sessions combining theoretical and practical components focused on Schengen instruments, international coordination mechanisms, and the establishment of Joint Investigation Teams (JITs). This initiative is part of HAPE’s ongoing commitment to support Kosovo authorities in enhancing operational and legal capacities for effective international police and judicial cooperation, contributing to stronger regional security and justice cooperation frameworks.
