Denmark has made plans to rent 300 prison cells in Kosovo to accommodate inmates at the end of their sentences.
The cells will be used for foreign prisoners who are due to be deported after their sentences, the justice ministry said.
The Danish government presented the new plan on Wednesday in an effort to curb prison overcrowding.
The project also plans to increase the capacity of the Danish prison system by 326 places between 2022 and 2025.
Last year, some 350 prisoners in Danish prisons were due to be deported at the end of their sentences.
Denmark’s prison population has grown by 19% to more than 4,000 inmates by the start of 2021. According to national statistics, Danish jails are now at more than 100% of their capacity.
