The Ministry of Internal Affairs aims to impose control over illegal weapons, giving them the opportunity to legalise or hand over to their users.
Why is it that the Law on Weapons, which envisions this, has been in force since 2015, has been unable to afford a lack of administrative guidance, which it has already drafted? MPB.
This directive has preceded a six-month period of legalisation weapons procedures, while the deadline for voluntary surrender of weapons, ammunition and exhibition means will be 3 months, Koha Ditore writes today.
For legalising the user weapon must be over 21-year-old, not under investigation for criminal acts, and not be sentenced to a decision of a strong form for criminal acts. Moreover, there is a need for theoretical and practical testing on the use of weapons.
At the same time, the owners who voluntarily carry the weapon will have no legal consequences. During the three-month period, illegal gun owners could hand them over without identifying gunkeeping history and taking personal data.
According to a recent research conducted by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, in Kosovo there are about 240 thousand weapons that circulate into the hands of citizens illegally. While a large number of them are confiscated annually by Kosovo Police.
According to the Kosovo Police Information Office, a total of 1211 weapons of different types have been confiscated during 2017 and 268 pieces of ammunition from various calibres.
