Often when such mobilization of the police is seen, it alludes to an external threat.

However, Periscop has contacted the Kosovo Police, who explain that this is being done because of prevention and security, following the great influx of citizens to the capital, taking into account the weekend holidays we left behind.

spokeswoman Flora Ahmeti has told Periscope that the patrols of the officers on foot are being done since early December.

These patrols on foot are from the beginning of December. The Regional Police Directorate has seen in the afternoon, for prevention and security to engage the units with long arms in specific areas of the Pristina region. Based on the analysis and assessments the planning unit has made. He said Ahmeti.

Meanwhile, Periscopi finds that the largest patrols with long arms are being made near state institutions, but also at foreign embassies.

We remember that just before the holiday season, various businesses in Kosovo have faced frequent burglary. There were cases of theft in private homes.
