How were Skodas imported for the Kosovo Police and ended up in the hands of citizens?

At various times in 2025, the Porsche Kosova company imported over 100 Skoda Octavia Selection cars.

Their import in such large numbers turns out not to have been just for citizens or businesses.

“Oath for Justice” has received information that officials of the Procurement Office within the Kosovo Police are suspected of having held informal discussions with this company for the purchase of around 80 vehicles worth over 2 million euros to improve logistical capacities, mainly for Patrol Units.

However, despite the fact that the cars were imported, the plan of Kosovo Police officials and the Porsche Kosova company was not realized.

In this case, the company was forced to offer a promotional price for the purpose of selling them, and to distribute them at another authorized point of the Skoda company for Kosovo, AHP, which is located in Prizren.

To argue this, the research team first visited the Porsche Kosovo sales point in Cagllavica.

In the showroom, the employee indicates that the Skoda Octavia car has a promotional price of 27,900 euros, unlike the real price of 30,690.

“Worker: The Octavia is actually the best-selling car we sell, it is the car that has the most space, it is the car that has the lowest costs. It also has the best price, this price is coincidental because there is no such price, but we had a very large fleet of cars before the new model year, now they have made a big discount. In addition, this one is from 30,690 to 27,900

Journalist: Except for us, but also for the police, excuse me?

Worker: Yes, of course.

Journalist: Don’t confuse us with them.

Worker: It’s better than nothing haha.

BpD: Since they have the power, they’ve stopped it as soon as they started.

Worker: 150 horsepower is the 2.0 engine, both this and that have the same engine.

BpD: What is characteristically different?

Worker: Now, this is a more standard package, it’s not something that’s very well equipped.

BpD: Don’t let the police take it anyway

Worker: Look, durability is a level, that is, the car with the greatest durability, the car with the lowest costs, the car with the largest body has 600 L of luggage, has good space in front, has space in the back that, for example, even if you are the fourth, the fifth, three people sit comfortably together, do you understand that in today’s cars, it is very rare to find a car with good space, do you understand? Now you have these emergency response, you have those assist, you have those front and rear sensors, you have the rear camera, you have wireless charging for your phone, you have these Android. These Apple CarPL wirelessly come out.

BpD: Does this model have all these options or just this fleet that has arrived?

Worker: Whatever I tell you, it’s already here.

BpD: From here. The fleet that has arrived means what hasn’t arrived since.

Worker: “We have what we don’t have after 80.”

Unlike the price listed on the showroom display, he says the real price is over 29 thousand euros, and that so far out of 80 imported cars, they have sold 70 of them.

“Worker: Look, this is the end-of-year offer price, except that there is still some left in stock until it runs out. It’s okay to order now, you can bring it for 4 months, and it’s 29 thousand minimum/

Journalist: You’re 80, right?

Workshop: 80 pieces.

BpD: They are shit.

Worker: We have 70 and 10 pieces in stock right now that are cheap. So the price is very professional and very promotional.”

But, when asked by the worker if importing such a large number of them was done for a specific purpose, he says that this opportunity was given to them by the manufacturing factory, in order to come out with a lower price.

“Journalist: Did you all make offers like this, because the Skodas we had were used?”

Worker: No, we offer each client a discount for each regular-priced car, but not a super discount and with these benefits. It’s all very expensive, it’s approximately 1 thousand euros that our company pays to give them.

Journalist: Did you get 80% of the amount you deducted?

Worker: “No, we have a fleet from the factory, so we can order them at a reasonable price.”
