Between the 27th and 31st March, a Study Visit to the UK was organised by EULEX in partnership with the UK Customs International Liaison Office and the U.S. Department of State - Export Control and Related Border Security Program (EXBS), who sponsored the visit. The Study Visit to UK Law Enforcement and Intelligence Agencies responsible for Border Security was targeted at developing Kosovo Border Management and in particular, the National Centre for Border Management (NCBM). The goal of the NCBM is to give Kosovo the technical capacity for collating, analysing and disseminating information, undertaking multi-agency risk analysis, to assist border agencies in fighting illicit cross-border and organised crime, as well as helping to combat corruption. The Kosovo Delegation included the Deputy Minister for Internal Affairs / IBM National Coordinator and senior representatives from all three Border Authorities, including the new Director General of Kosovo Customs.
