The Kosovo Customs (KC) uses Data Warehouse to store and process the data. It uses web
services to query the national register for persons (Kosovo Police) and link with the LE cases.
The persons’ entry and exit data from Kosovo are also available from the border police.
KC maintains the replica of the database from the Kosovo Business Registration Agency – ARBK
and links persons with companies and means of transport. Regarding the means of transport,
the KC has an ANPR89 system operational on the BCP and maintains the means of transport
movement data. Short term plan is to exchange the data with all agencies within the framework
of Kosovo Integrated Border Management.
For analysis and reporting purposes, the KC uses a BI solution that provides live information
and notification for the management (dashboards) and advance analysis for the RAU. The RAU
can simulate one or more risk profiles, combining the indicators against historical data and
produce the complex comparative analysis. The data mining tool (data mining modeler) offers
advanced analysis capabilities, identifying the hidden relationship between entities and
concealments. The integrated predictive algorithms lead to actionable predictions on high-risk
goods and entities without programming.
