The Paraburg Prison Center in Gjilan is undergoing a closure process, an action stemming from a bilateral agreement established between the Republic of Kosovo and the Kingdom of Denmark. Under the terms of this agreement, the facility is designated for the housing and management of inmates serving sentences handed down by Danish authorities. The Bar Association confirmed that it received official notification from the Kosovo Correctional Service regarding the initiation of this procedure.
Specifically, the notification detailed that the process of closing the Paraburg Prison Center and subsequently transferring the individuals currently housed within the facility to alternative correctional institutions has commenced. This development marks a procedural shift in the management of correctional facilities in the region. The transition is directly linked to the operational agreement allowing the Danish government to utilize the capacity of the Paraburg center.
Authorities have confirmed that the closure involves a structured transfer plan to ensure continuity of care and custody for all residents. The Kosovo Correctional Service’s directive signals the formal commencement of decommissioning the site while simultaneously establishing its new function under international cooperation. Stakeholders have been informed that the relocation of inmates from this specific prison center will proceed according to established protocols, ensuring compliance with both national law and the terms set forth in the international treaty.
