Coronavirus/No prisoner has been released in Kosovo

But these requests have been immediately rejected by courts with different rationalities, reports IndexOnline.

So unlike the Republic of Albania, which is preparing to release about 600 inmates temporarily, something like this has not yet been planned in Kosovo.

Florent Gashi, an information official at the Kosovo Correcting Service, has stated to Indescsonline that under the Operational Plan “Corona Virus”, the Kosovo Correcting Service together with the Ministry of Justice have proposed suspending the conviction decision for people with a serious health condition.

There have been three requests that have been rejected by the court, while we are awaiting assessment of the other case”, Gashi has declared.

Once the first cases with COVID-19 were confirmed, a series of measures were taken by the Government of Kosovo to prevent the spread of this pandemic.

Among the steps taken was the ban on family visits to prisoners in all prisons.

But to enable them to be in touch with them, the popular line was established, which enables them to contact voice and video feed from the correct Centers to family.

This communication opportunity has been functional since the first week of making decisions, and according to leaders, it is functioning quite well.
