Qala: Police are working on ordinary schedules, only people with serious illness have been released.

He has said Kosovo Police have relieved members who are seriously ill, while the rest are working at regular times. Qalaj has said that only police members who come from quarantined countries Vitita, Kline, Malisha working in Pristina are ordered to be notified at the stations of these cities.

The current situation is not so dramatic in the country that we can spend 12 hours or do any other operating plan, with a single change for police living in the Year, Kline, Malishev, and that the workplace is in Pristina, we have issued an order that they call the police station at that location and help manage the situation in that country. Unformed personnel are working normally. Of course, we've done some serious - health police actions, which we've already released before this situation passes, since I've stated several times that we have several cancer - stricken colleagues, heart disease. In this situation we have come to appreciate that they must be at home so that they do not become infected and have no serious consequences. We have also identified several jobs as to civil staff that are not sensitive and we can work without those places and have released them from today.”, Qalaj said.

The chat in this interview has also talked about the vagueities that were created over the past few days regarding businesses that should not work.

Kosovo Police are working 24 hours a week and we have more personnel than they have different inspectors, and in most cases we make efforts to support the inspectors to do the job well. But there are times when our patrols observe different locals working and they have been banned from the government. We make the most of our efforts to be together with the inspectors, but I'm still saying that Kosovo has enough floors, locals and it's hard for the inspector to cover it alone. Police because of the number, the activities that you conduct, due to distribution, are more likely to make the identification of violators of the government's decision.”, Qalaj said.

He has said he has requested additional clarifications regarding this decision.

When the government's initial decision was issued and later we have requested additional clarifications since in such situations it's not easy to implement because no matter how many governments and a ministerial group back on the ground something that requires additional clarification and has happened to intervene in a currency Call, thinking they are not allowed to work. We apologized. We also had several ovens that served in addition to selling bread or eating indoors that are not allowed to rule. So it took additional clarification that they have the right to sell but they have no right to serve. So, if a kebab, they sell some coffee they can give the citizen coffee and the citizen to continue out and not sit in the bar.”, Qalaj added.

The government has also made the decision that one of the parents should be released from work, in addition to members of security and health institutions. Qalaj has indicated that there are times when two policemen are a husband or one of the spouses works in the police and the other in health. He has said police have found the way to implement this decision.

This is important because we have a lot of colleagues working in the Kosovo police and we've made a choice to adjust the working schedule for one parent to work in the morning, the next afternoon so that one of the parents is in child care. Or in cases where one of the parents is a police employee and the other in health services, we have given priority to the working hours of health services and adjusted the work schedule.”, he said.

Qalaj has indicated that so far most police stations have been disinfected, but the disinfectation of their cars has not begun.

“In most of the Kosovo Police facilities has been performed disinfection, there are some in the process, since we have large numbers of points. All border points have been disinfected. Cars not yet.”, Qalaj said.

Qalaj has indicated that since the first day this virus has been observed as a threat to the Kosovo Police region has emerged in support of health institutions.

“Initially at the border points in identifying people who have gone from dangerous points, or countries that have passed transit and after having made their identification, he has accompanied them to colleagues from health services to perform medical services, on the basis of requests. After that depending on the results resulting from medical checkups, we've had different commitments. You know that later after medical examination some patients were diagnosed with this virus, and we had to isolate some actions at the country level. The main task of the police has been to make those locations closed so that there will be no occupants of people, no entry or exit, except for emergency services and official squirrels and some services that are allowed by the Government of Kosovo.”, Qalaj said.

He has thanked citizens of quarantined areas for co-operation.

“We thank all citizens who have implemented Government decisions very well and have collaborated with the Kosovo Police. I can say that the decision has been taken quite well. Of course, citizens have different needs for the supply. We are in constant contact with all government commissions with all municipalities in order to implement the government's decision and residents to supply life's basics. “, Qalaj added.

Director Qalaj has also talked about police work on borders.

The police's “task is to first control the documentation of any citizens entering the border points after the border is closed and allowing Kosovo citizens and preventing foreign citizens and goods. Kosovo police have begun implementation. Initially, there has been a greater influx of citizens because citizens have shot to be in different parts of the world, whether transit or living, and they have begun returning in different directions for Kosovo. Kosovo police after documenting direct them to the point where medical examinations are conducted and then is the task of further medical services.”, he said.

He has said that even the entry of goods is being carried on regularly.

“We have access to goods constantly. There are no problems except that we are obliged to guide drivers on how to behave.”, Qalaj stressed.
