This unit will have the primary objective of coordinating the activities between the agencies for law enforcement as part of the fight against organised crime and terrorism.
As part of the efforts to enlarge the cooperation with other countries of the region and elsewhere, it is crucial to have increasingly fruitful cooperation and coordination for the purpose of law enforcement, between the different countries and especially between those of the Balkans region, where individual countries are encountering great difficulty with regard to rule of law. Organised crime and corruption continue to be amongst the largest worries of these countries, including here Kosovo as well, and as a consequent in order to fight these occurrences, it is necessary to coordinate actions of law enforcement agencies of all countries in order to have greater success in this regard.
As a result of this process, on the proposal of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Government of Kosovo in its second meeting held on the 2nd of March 2011, approved the decision to establish the International Law Enforcement Cooperation Unit Enforcement (ILECU) which will function as part of the Kosovo Police. The following will be incorporated within this unit: Office of INTERPOL, EUROPOL< EUROJUST and FRONTEX.
This unit has a primary objective of coordinating the activities between law enforcement agencies as part of the fight against organised crime and terrorism. Additionally, with the objective of coordinating the international cooperation within this unit, a cooperation agreement is expected to be signed between the MIA, MJ, MF and State Prosecution
