The Joint Money Laundering Intelligence Network of Kosovo (JMLINK) is being considered as an opportunity to increase Kosovo's ability to combat money laundering and terrorist financing.

This Network, which was launched today, is made possible by Great Britain and the Kosovo Financial Intelligence Unit together with the Government of Kosovo.

The Minister of Finance, Labor and Transfers, Hekuran Murati, said that the launch of this network is an important step in fulfilling the Government's priorities related to the fight against money laundering, organized crime and the financing of terrorism.

According to him, JMLINK enables a proactive approach to combating the phenomena of money laundering and terrorist financing.

The Minister of Internal Affairs, Xhelal Sveçla, said that the Joint Money Laundering Intelligence Network of Kosovo is a project that will strengthen joint capabilities to address the threats that come from money laundering and terrorist financing.

While expressing the commitment of the ministry he leads in the fight against organized crime and terrorism, Sveçla said that the creation of this Network is putting Kosovo in a strong position for the prevention of these criminal activities.

The Ambassador of Great Britain in Kosovo, Jonathan Hargreaves said that the expensive way of life in Kosovo is a sign that there is probably money laundering.

According to him, the creation of the Joint Money Laundering Intelligence Network of Kosovo is a clear message that criminal activities that harm the economy will not be allowed in Kosovo.

Flutura Blakçori-Xërxa from the Kosovo Financial Intelligence Unit said that the Joint Money Laundering Intelligence Network of Kosovo is a key requirement for combating money laundering and terrorist financing.
