Although Kosovo is a country with young democracy, Huruglica assured the representative of the U.S. that Kosovo Customs, the Police and other institutions will find the partners who will be able to build good relations in fighting cross-border crime. He thanked the U.S. Government for all this help that is giving to the capacity of KC and to other institutions.
