Kosovo police officers from the Regional Operational Support Unit (ROSU) outside the National Assembly in Pristina, Kosovo
Kosovo Security Forces gathered outside the National Assembly preparing for demonstrations against the Government of Kosovo. Up to 100,000 protesters were expected to protest against a vote-on-border-deal-with-Montenegro that would take place that very same morning. The bulk of the Kosovo Police are patrol officers. However the force has specialized investigative units in all six regions, including Organized Crime Units, Forensics Units, and several others. In addition to those specialist units in the investigative side of law enforcement, every region has a Regional Operational Support Unit (called ROSU), who are trained for times where forced entry is needed on search warrants, as well as acting as front line officers during riot situations, or in times when crowd control is necessary. The Kosovo Police Close Protection unit serves as the body guards for visiting heads of state, and for Kosovo's own political leaders.
