A corresponding agreement was reached between the government of the Social Democrats and the People's, Socialist People's Conservative People's Party of Denmark. "By 2025, there will be a shortage of 1,000 places in the penitentiary system. I am proud to say that through this agreement we will solve this problem together, "said Justice Minister Nick Heckerup.
Third-country nationals convicted in Denmark will serve their sentences in Kosovo. There are also plans to increase the number of places in Danish prisons. The measures for 2022-2025, determined by the inter-party agreement, include additional funding of 4 billion kroner ($ 604 million).
