Pacolli: Kosovo on agenda to become part of INTERPOL

Pacolli says work has been done on Kosovo membership

Deputy Prime Minister Behgjet Pacolli has said Kosovo is already on the agenda to be admitted to INTERPOL.

Although Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, as soon as he receives the mandate, had decided that Kosovo will temporarily lift its membership application in this organisation, Pacolli says conditions are now ripe, and that Kosovo has never been closer to being part of INTERPOL

Z. Prime Minister Pacolli, also foreign minister, claims that Kosovo has moved ahead on the road towards Kosovo membership in INTERPOL.

In a brief conversation with the Express, Pacolli has said that Kosovo is only part of the agenda to become part of this organisation.

Prime Minister Haradinaj had been surprised and criticized not least when he decided to withdraw the application for membership in INTERPOL six months earlier. Since then, however, Pacolli says work has been done on Kosovo membership.

Kosovo on the agenda to be admitted to INTERPOL. This is the first sign that Kosovo will be joined in INTERPOL, for which we have worked very hard”, Pacolli said.

Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj had decided to postpone the application for membership in INTERPOL, with the argument that Kosovo would lack votes from several states and that it did not want to repeat the same story as with membership in the U. NESTO.

It was reported that such a thing had happened after Kosovo's international allies had asked Haradinaj not to apply because Kosovo did not have the necessary support and that it would not secure the pro-member votes.
