44 Abit Hoxha, Donika Emini 4. Police Police cooperation between BiH and Kosovo is constantly being hampered by the political implications and lack of statehood recognition by BiH. Lacking formal and bilateral agreements between Kosovo and BiH, the cooperation between the two states has been done by using other channels such as informal communication and cooperation through regional initiatives in the field of security 22 . So far, Kosovo has been communicating with BiH informally through ILECU (International Law Enforcement Coordination Unit) 23 . This platform of communication did boost cooperation between Kosovo and BiH, and it does connect Kosovo to the international platforms such as INTERPOL and EUROPOL 24 . Needless to say, the development of the regional cooperation in the Balkans under the coordination of the Regional Cooperation Council (RCC) which represents one of the main initiatives carrying more than 40 regional cooperation mechanisms, has begun to show its first successes by engaging Kosovo in regional level projects. Police cooperation in the Balkans has been also seen as a tool to overcome the challenges of the past while facilitating the campaign against organized crime and other security threatens 25 . 4.1. Organized crime, Trafficking and Drugs There is lack of cooperation between Kosovo and BiH in the bilateral level, however, there has been some communication set up by law enforcement agencies led by several EU and Balkan countries. Collaboration in several operations has led to the dismantling one of the largest and powerful drug network in the Balkans which used to network and supplies drugs to the EU countries 26 . Moreover, the cooperation be- 22 Emini, D. (2014). Kosovo’s Membership and Participation in Regional Security Initiatives.

Bosnia and Herzegovina in Kosovar Perspective: An Agenda for International Cooperation 45 tween police and prosecutors Kosovo, Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH), Croatia, Slovenia, Austria and Italy after an operation of four years with the arrests of seven suspects in Albania and Italy on charges of drug trafficking and other related crimes. 5. Military Military cooperation does represent one of the most challenging sphere in which Kosovo and BiH have not managed to establish cooperation. The logic of linking the security institutions with the statehood of Kosovo has made BiH authorities reluctant to establish any type of relations with Kosovo. Thus, different from the police sector, the defence sector still remains challenging. 5.1. Defence, Training and Peacekeeping Lacking bilateral relations Kosovo and BiH have not yet established cooperation in the defence sector, henceforth the newly established Kosovo Security Force (KSF) did not benefit from joint trainings with BiH or other regional states. So far Kosovo has not been able to participate in the Peace Support Operations Training Center (PSOTC), an organization created for the support of Armed Forces of BiH which of course has a regional component and partnership with NATO. Kosovo authorities have been constantly showing ambitions to join this organization, but failed to establish any type of relations, even non formal 27 . Nevertheless, the Western Balkans region is being threatened from terrorism, organized crime, cross-border criminal activities, corruption, such cases need to be dealt regionally and cooperation in the field of security, including the intelligence sharing and other joint effort are very much needed in order to fight against powerful global forces. xhtml/en_GB/features/setimes/features/2013/11/04/feature-01 27 Emini, D.
