2 STATE STRATEGY OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOSOVO ON CRIME PREVENTION AND ACTION PLAN

3 Message from the Minister Strategy on Prevention of Crime and Action Plan drafted for the first time in the Republic of Kosovo are two strategic documents expressing clearly that the rule of law is an absolute priority of the Government of Kosovo platform for zero tolerance against crime. The preservation of freedom, security and property of citizens it is a holy mission that despite requiring continues commitment has also challenges constantly. Overcoming these challenges we will come out ever more stronger and more courageous in facing all those involved in criminal activities with the force of law, a force which derives from the most contemporary Constitution and which respects human rights. The nature of crime is multi-dimensional and therefore our approach will involve various institutions of Kosovo which will uncompromisingly fight this negative phenomenon by ensuring the rule of law in the Republic of Kosovo. Crime occurs throughout the region and therefore this issue should be addressed at the regional level. Ministry of Internal Affairs takes an important role for coordinating actions for implementation of this strategy and action plan. Strategy and Action Plan are designed in full compliance with the policies of the Government for Fight against all kinds of crime and in accordance with these policies and zero tolerance standing against crime will be fully implemented and with an additional oversight. Taking into consideration the fact that the drafting of these two documents is a considerable achievement of the Republic of Kosovo institutions, and given that this strategy has strategic objectives to fight and prevent crime, and an action plan with concrete actions for fighting and preventing crime, I state my belief that will there be made important steps in this regard. Only, well prepared and committed rule of law institutions, in the service of all citizens of the country with no distinction, will ensure us to feel calm now when we are independent and have the responsibility for the security of our country. Only in this way, we will ensure a secure future for our society, for our children. Minister of Internal Affairs Zenun Pajaziti 3

6 STATE STRATEGY OF THE REPUBLIC OF KOSOVO ON CRIME PREVENTION I. INTRODUCTION Based on various analysis carried out to date, it has been noted that when compared to the European Union member states the crime rate in the Republic of Kosovo is lower, whereas in comparison to regional countries the crime rate is higher. Kosovo s further economic and social development, and advancement in the European integration process will bring forth more possibilities for the increase of crime rate, therefore, it is crucial that the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo address this phenomenon promptly. The Government of the Republic of Kosovo through drafting this strategy aims to respond to this phenomenon with a preventive approach by undertaking precautionary measures. Crime prevention policy of the Government of the Republic of Kosovo is an important element, aiming to become a national security mechanism in combating and preventing crime. The Government of the Republic of Kosovo has identified that the key priority for this strategy requires an integrated response between all institutions, with a focus on cooperation. Besides the responsibilities of relevant institutions for combating crime, this strategy aims to establish an additional mechanism for crime reduction through prevention. Prevention means all activities that have an impact on halting and reducing crime as a social phenomenon, both in the quantitative and qualitative aspects, either through permanent and structured measures of cooperation or through ad-hoc initiatives. The need to draft this strategy comes as a necessity and requirement to direct specific activities of police and other institutions towards planning, developing and implementing an Action Plan on crime prevention. This Strategy is a document that defines goals, fundamental principles, determines objectives, responsible institutions and ways to succeed in crime prevention. This Strategy on Crime Prevention includes: - Building an early intervention/reaction system in order to prevent crime. - Developing and implementing social measures/services in order to prevent crime. - Situational measures, with a focus on technical measures, including urban planning, in order to provide public safety, to limit opportunities for committing crime, increase apprehension possibility of offender and reduce proceeds from crime. - Informing citizens on the security situation, as well as on safety instructions and the promotion of direct engagement in order to raise the awareness to undertake proactive steps to improve their own safety and the safety of their neighbourhoods. - Building necessary capacities, strengthening the proposed crime prevention system, improving 6

7 implementation conditions through national and local support. The objectives of this Strategy shall cover the next three-year period ( ) II. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES FOR THE SUCCESS OF THE STATE STRATEGY ON CRIME PREVENTION In achieving the objectives foreseen with the State Strategy on Crime Prevention, the institutions of the Republic of Kosovo are guided by the following principles: Principle of Constitutionality and Legality Actions undertaken in order to prevent crime must be based on the provisions provided for in the Constitution of the Republic of Kosovo, legislation in force and international agreements. Principle of Professionalism Crime prevention requires good experts, sharing experiences and developing appropriate instruments/best practices. This implies linking in with training, education and professional development for institutions of the Republic of Kosovo and ensuring that only high-quality specialists are recruited. Principle of Continuity Activities should be seen as part of a continuous strategy. Principle of Credibility Institutions responsible for crime prevention should work on building trust in maintaining investigation, data and information integrity against the abuse by those who have access to them. Principle of Human Rights and Liberties This principle means the grant of freedoms and rights to all individuals during all stages of institutional involvement in crime prevention. Principle of Security This principle means ensuring the right to security and protection for all citizens by preventing all types of crime. Principle of Proportionality Means the exercise of authority by institutions that deal with crime prevention only when necessary and only to the extent required to achieve legitimate objectives, with appropriate tools and methods, in the shortest possible time and with the least damaging consequences. 7

8 III. CURRENT SITUATION The Government of the Republic of Kosovo has undertaken a series of activities in order to prevent and combat crime by drafting the National Strategies against Trafficking in Human Beings, Drugs, Organized Crime, Terrorism, and the National Strategy on Integrated Border Management, wherewith concrete actions and measures to prevent and combat these negative phenomena are foreseen. Current situation in Kosovo shows that there are still problems of different natures, criminal offences listed below, which were not included in the previous strategies. Although the crime rate has marked a general decrease in recent years, the increase of several crime types remains a concerning fact. Referring to the statistics of Kosovo Police ( and first half of 2009), used for preparing this strategy, an increase of the crime rate has been noticed in the following fields: Robberies/Thefts in the Nature of Robbery; Unlawful Occupation of Real Property; Aggravated Theft; Light Bodily Harm/Grievous Bodily Harm; Causing General Danger; Attempted Murder; Criminal Offences against Security of Public Traffic. In recent years, murders as a more grievous category of criminal offences mark a decrease, however in comparison with trends of this offence in regional countries the rate in Kosovo is more significant. During this period, analyses show that the suicide phenomenon also presents as a rather concerning occurrence for Kosovo institutions and society. Number of recorded crime in Kosovo is approximately 3000 per 100,000 inhabitants, significantly lower than the sample average from a group comprised of eleven EU member states. However, in comparison to Macedonia the crime rate in Kosovo is approximately 3 times higher. While, in comparison with Croatia, Kosovo marks 30% higher crime trend 1, therefore this can be a reason for concern. 1 First EULEX Monitoring Report,

12 VIII. STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES This strategy s strategic objectives aim to provide an adequate response to crime prevention and reduction and include: 1. Prevention of crime through the development of the early intervention/reaction system, 2. Further development of the legal infrastructure, 3. Advancement of institutional capacities in order to prevent crime, 4. Further development of cooperation and coordination, 5. Development and implementation of social measures/services in order to prevent crime. The abovementioned strategic objectives are further detailed below: 1. Prevention of crime through the development of the early intervention/reaction system Crime prevention is a concept that should be developed within the local institution, initially at a lower level, where crime is mainly targeting the community. Municipalities and local Police Stations are the first entities that should tackle the problem; therefore the focus on the institutional development should be placed on them. With regard to crime prevention, it is very important that there is a system of not only quantitative but also qualitative data collection in order to identify potential crime cases which will be used in the analysis performed by law enforcement institutions when undertaking measures that will have an impact on crime prevention. In this regard, it is crucial that Kosovo advances its system with qualitative data in order to contribute to: 1.1 Reinforce the School Safety Strategy; 1.2 Develop an efficient and actuable crime prevention system/programme. (identifying causes, determining priorities, raising awareness, assessment, SARA model); 1.3 Assess crime trends and tendencies in accordance with the approved methodology; 1.4. Raise awareness of local institutions for possible interventions/reactions on crime prevention, through their involvement in the crime prevention system/programme; 1.5 Engagement of the civil society through their involvement in the crime prevention system/programme. 2. Further development of the legal infrastructure Notwithstanding the completion and extensive development of the Kosovo legal framework, it has to be considered the possible revision, amendment and/or drafting of existing/new legal basis the tackle new tendencies, evaluated through regular assessment on the crime trends. 2.1 Identify whether the existing legal framework has the capacity to cover new crime trends/tendencies; 12

13 2.2. Develop and/or advance the legal framework to effectively counter new crime trends/tendencies.. 3. Advancement of institutional capacities in order to prevent crime Kosovo Government has already created the institutional bodies within the Municipalities and the local community. The Municipality Community Safety Council (MCSC) and the Local Public Safety Committee (LPSC) are the basic entities to bring together all the key players identified to develop the early intervention/reaction crime prevention system/programme. However, in order to prevent crime successfully it is necessary that responsible institutions have sufficient human resources, skilled, specialized and equipped with the necessary technical equipment and technology to prevent crime. Building institutional capacities on crime prevention includes a series of measures in order to: 3.1 Strengthen human capacities and effectiveness of institutions that deal with crime prevention. 3.2 Establish and functionalize other institutions for crime prevention; 3.3 Strengthen the structures of the Police and other institutions involved in crime prevention with personnel and equipment; 3.4 Operationalize the functionality of the Police in the Community. 4. Further development of cooperation and coordination Prevention is an activity that has to be conducted with a multi-institutional approach. The cooperation and coordination among all key players in developing the early intervention/reaction crime prevention system/programme is a substantial element to achieve any result. Cooperation and coordination includes a series of measures which aim to: 4.1 Advance cooperation and coordination among State institutions (Ministries and Local Institutions); 4.2 Strengthen cooperation and coordination between law enforcement agencies, civil society and media; 4.3 Strengthen cooperation and coordination between the Community Safety Forums and new initiatives (MCSCs, LPSCs, CSATs, CSCs, etc); 4.4 Develop sharing of practices (success and failures) among institutions; 4.5 Identify the best practices and positive trends on preventing crime, through international cooperation and coordination. 5. Development and implementation of social measures/services in order to prevent crime Development and implementation of social measures/services includes a series of measures which aim to: 5.1 Identify potential individuals at risk for becoming victims and committing crime; 5.2 Provide counseling (psychological, pedagogical) and social services in order to prevent crime. 13
