“I am extremely honored that one of my first activities as the Minister of Justice is the opening of this Educational-Correctional Center for Juveniles, which is an investment by European taxpayers. 

My commitment as Minister will be the strengthening of the rule of law in Kosovo. Strengthening the law and order will be a passport for the Republic of Kosovo to be integrated into the European Union”, said Minister Tahiri.

As she encouraged the Ministry of Justice to take into account the well-being of juveniles, head of EU Office in Kosovo, Nataliya Apostolova, said the EU has invested 3 million Euros for the construction of the Correctional Center for Juveniles.

The head of UNICEF Office in Kosovo, Brandao Co, assessed that the opening of this center is an opportunity to mark the progress achieved so far, as well as to mark the Kosovo partnership with UNICEF and the EU.

The Educational-Correctional Center for Juveniles is a joint project co-financed by the European Commission and the Ministry of Justice.
