Following a successful operation by CID personnel at the airport, the arrest was made, highlighting the ongoing efforts to combat criminal activities in the region. The public was encouraged to report any suspicious behavior to aid in crime prevention. Kosovo, a country in southeast Europe with contested recognition, remains a point of tension with neighboring Serbia. Despite Kosovo’s partial diplomatic recognition, Serbia continues to claim it as part of its territory.
