Kosovo's parliament has approved a 10-year agreement with Denmark to rent 300 prison cells, helping Denmark manage its overpopulated prison system. Denmark will pay Kosovo €210 million ($227 million), which will be used for Kosovo's correctional institutions and renewable energy projects. The agreement permits foreigners sentenced to deportation to serve their time in Kosovo under the same conditions as in a Danish prison, and allows for the possibility of deporting foreigners directly to their home country after the end of their sentence.
