Kosovo - page 1 of 0

Despite the fact that there is no legalization of prostitution in Kosovo, the local mafia bosses have been actively recruiting women from foreign countries to work in their brothels. The international presence in Kosovo generates 80% of the income for the pimps, mafiosi, and brothel owners.

In Pristina, for example, there are at least three mini bordellos, each of which has at least one prostitute. In other parts of the city, girls may be observed walking around.

Kosovo has become a hotbed for sex trafficking. The traffickers recruit victims through false employment offers at cafes and through promises of marriage. Sex trafficking crimes involving a group of victims carry a sentence of 15-20 years in prison.

Kosovo is home to a huge number of prostitutes. The number of premises involved in rackets has risen from 18 in 1999 to 200 this year. Many of the female escorts in Kosovo come from other European countries.

Sex trafficking in Kosovo is also rampant, especially in private homes. Sex trafficking victims include children, women and girls. Kosovo is also home to several “mini bordellos” which are illegal and a growing source of prostitution in the country.

Kosovo’s prostitution is illegal, but the local population refuses to accept this. In fact, the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK) says it has uncovered several cases of prostitution.

Kosovo’s prostitution is becoming a new organized crime. In fact, Rade Negojevic, the head of the International Press Centre in Mitrovica, claims that Kosovo has become the world’s largest brothel.
