Acting Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj met with Deputy Assistant Secretary of State from the Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs Jorgan K. Andrews.
Haradinaj said that he talked with him about Kosovo's partnership with the USA, 'in the fight against drug trafficking, organized crime and corruption'.
Haradinaj says that "Kosovo has made progress in strengthening security", in particular, says Haradinaj, "it has strengthened the Police, the Prosecutor's Office and the Courts". But nevertheless, the report of International organization Transparency International, ranks Kosovo in 101st place.
This result means that Kosovo has marked a deterioration in the fight against corruption in the previous year, when it was 93rd.
"I emphasized that Kosovo has made significant progress in strengthening the security sector, especially by strengthening the Police, the Prosecutor's Office and the Courts, and is a worthy partner for global operations in this field. I thanked Mr. Andrews for the unsparing help that the USA has given and continues to give in strengthening the country's institutions, and I asked him to continue this partnership in the future, expressing the readiness of our institutions for shared responsibilities," he writes. Haradinaj on Facebook.
He also wrote that "Kosovo has managed to build credible institutions and advance in their profiling, thanks also to the partnership with the USA, and today we are ready to stand side by side with the allied countries, in ensuring peace and stability, not only for our citizens!".
