During the observance of the “International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illegal Trafficking,” the President of the Republic of Kosovo, Albulena Haxhiu, addressed the severe threats posed by substance abuse and illegal trafficking to the nation’s youth and social stability. Haxhiu emphasized that open and non-judgmental dialogue regarding the dangers of drugs is essential for community safety. She stressed that preventative education must be proactive, recommending that discussions about addiction and trafficking occur within educational settings, among parents, teachers, and the youth themselves, thereby preventing the issue from escalating into a family crisis.
According to the President, particular vigilance is warranted within schools, given persistent reports of narcotic substances being present or sold in the vicinity of educational institutions. Haxhiu stated that this proximity elevates prevention to an immediate responsibility shared by the family unit. She argued that comprehensive community engagement is necessary.
Therefore, she asserted that robust educational outreach must become a priority. The message conveyed by Haxhiu underscores the need for a unified approach involving governmental bodies, educational institutions, and families to safeguard the well-being of the youth population against illicit substances.
