Vushtrri, 12 February 2018 - The Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) continues to support the Kosovo Academy for Public Safety (KAPS) through organizing trainings and donating various donations that are needed for the Academy.

At the ceremony of giving this donation was the General Director of the Academy Ismail Smakiqi, Director of the Department of Public Order and Security Ake Roghe, Shpresa Muharremi, OSCE Advisor, as well as senior officials from the Academy.

Initially, General Director of the Academy Ismail Smakiqi thanked the OSCE for supporting the Academy, assessing that the donation is very necessary.

"This donation will serve students and all members of the security to attend classes and training at the academy. Every time we need to knock on our friend's door, which is the OSCE, and the OSCE always responds to the request and ready to help us, "Smakiqi said.

Director Smakiqi said the Academy has been and is very interested in contributing to security in Kosovo by providing training and higher education at the highest international standards.

 “The academy will of course be the most reliable that meets the European and international standards in general, "Smakiqi, stressed that OSCE's support to the Academy has never been missed by providing numerous donations for its capacity building.
Meanwhile, Director of OSCE and Public Safety Department Ake Roghe expressed happiness that the OSCE is continuing to support the Academy.


Along with the large number of security officers taking part in various trainings and the large number of Kosovo Police 54th generation cadets being trained at the Academy, Director Roghe said that offering such good conditions for such a large number is imprressive.

“It is positive that you are recruiting these people, because in the end they will be in the field doing their job.  Regarding this commitment I think is small for us because we are part of family. We always try to support you in every possible way. The OSCE has no dilemma to help you, "Roghe said, by stressing that support will not be missing in the future as well.
