The Ministry of Interior has issued a report detailing 55 instances of what were classified as festive shootings across Kosovo during the months of June and July. In response to these incidents, the Kosovo police initiated actions under the “Celebrate with Heart, Not with Weapons” campaign. According to the ministry’s findings, the police intervened in every reported case.
These operations resulted in the detention of 48 individuals and the confiscation of a total of 47 firearms. The authorities emphasized that these measures were taken to curb the misuse of weapons during celebratory periods. The Ministry of Interior issued a statement thanking citizens who provided information regarding these incidents.
Officials strongly encouraged the public to continue reporting any instances of weapon misuse, particularly as the nation approaches future holidays and family gatherings. The primary goal of this heightened vigilance, according to the police, is to prevent violence and ensure public safety during times of celebration. The statistics highlight the police response to the number of festive shootings reported over the two-month period.
The proactive measures taken by law enforcement aim to deter illegal firearm possession and prevent related violence within the community. The continuous cooperation between the public and the police remains a key component of the strategy to maintain order and safety during festive occasions.
