Kosovo Police conducted 'Operation Mali,' resulting in two arrests and the seizure of 53 kilograms of drugs valued at 80,000 euros. Separately, three police officers were suspended following a recommendation from the Independent Oversight Body for Kosovo Police, which reviewed evidence of alleged misconduct.
On the regional security front, reports indicate that Serbia has mobilized forces against Kosovo and the Kosovo Liberation Army. In response, Kosovo is focusing on strengthening its own military, prioritizing helicopters and air defense capabilities. A US Colonel also affirmed American soldiers' readiness to collaborate with NATO allies for Kosovo's security, as the US Army initiates a strategic troop rotation to KFOR, shifting to theater-provided forces and emphasizing European allies' primary responsibility in the 'NATO 3.0' doctrine.
The debate surrounding the Special Court law continues, with Edward P. Joseph, a Senior Fellow at Johns Hopkins University SAIS, suggesting the EU should privately criticize Kosovo on the matter while expressing confidence in President Justina Pula, who was elected on October 7, 2026. European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos reiterated that the law concerning the Special Court represents a significant setback for Kosovo's European integration process.
