About

The OSCE Mission to Skopje will organize a simulation exercise for sixty police officers and three public prosecutors from the host country, Albania, and Kosovo.

The exercise includes a scenario showing how illicit drugs are trafficked across the Albanian border to Ohrid Lake, and later transported towards Kosovo.

The purpose of this exercise it to test operational capabilities of these countries in fighting organized crime at regional level, identify potential loopholes when dealing with organized crime with cross border elements, approximate tactical elements, and to discuss all other potential issues stemming from police international cooperation in fighting organized crime.
