What will happen to the police vests after canceling the tender of millions?

Not until two years after the tender was opened, Kosovo Police have failed to equip themselves with new bulletproof vests.

Reasons have been different and troubled along the way.

A lack of O board The EPS, complaints by companies that have not been selected and re-evaluated has left police officials with anti-negotiations that have expired.

The 3m and 799 thousand-euro tender was canceled by the Tender Court for several violations of the Procure Law. The main blame for the situation is the government, according to former Deputy Interior Minister Valdet Hoxha's assessment.

“The failure of police officials at this time delicately with a very sensitive tool as it is, indicates in the first place a direct government irresponsability, in two respects, primarily the failure to function in time of the procurement review body, and under two proper failure to plan significant tender procedures by Kosovo Police decidably the Ministry of Internal Affairs<1>, has declared Val Hoxha-is Former Deputy Minister of Kosovo Home Affairs.

As security affairs connoisseur Drizan Shala raises suspicions that with the tender he has attempted to manipulate through companies, procedures have become zero.

“This is proving the fact and the argument that under this tender we have to deal with criminal elements because the winner has been cancelled by manipulating with relevant materials and then further by the decision of the OPSH, has become a re-evaluation and has returned to the first operator to win the tender, we should be considering that we are talking about something essential such as the bulletproof vests that are necessary, the vital”, highlighted Drizan Shala, a security researcher. Kosovo police in 2021 had planned to buy 600 pieces of internal bulletproof vests, 2 thousand and 300 external vests, and 350 tactical anti-computers for Special Units. /Adugjini
