Kosovo plans to ban gambling within its borders following two murders at local gambling venues.

On Friday, an extraordinary session of Kosovo’s parliament approved a measure to suspend operations at all gambling venues ahead of a permanent ban on their operations. Avdullah Hoti, leader of the opposition Democratic League of Kosovo (DLK) party, put forward the motion, which received unanimous support from all 74 sitting MPs.

Kosovo officials wasted no time enforcing the government’s suspension of gambling. Serbia’s Tanjug media outlet reported that police, customs and tax authorities launched a coordinated effort Friday morning to ensure the immediate closure of all gambling venues. (Presumably, outlets flogging the state-run Lotaria e Kosovës lottery and betting products will be exempt.)

The government now plans to introduce new legislation within 30 days that will permanently outlaw gambling venues. Friday’s anti-gambling push received a thumbs-up from Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj, who posted a note on Facebook saying the government would seek cabinet approval of the measure next week. Haradinaj added that the government could no longer allow casinos and betting shops “to be arenas of crime that claim people’s lives.”
