Denmark declared plans to rent 300 prison cells in Kosovo in an effort to curb prison overcrowding.
The plan aims to accommodate inmates at the end of their sentences.
The plan will only include foreign prisoners who are due to be deported after their sentences.
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 faced deportation 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.
During the same period, the number of prison guards in the country people has fallen by 18%.
Last month, Denmark has started restoring pre-pandemic life.
About 52,000 people attended a huge pop concert at Copenhagen’s Parken stadium in Denmark.
The concert was organised a day after Denmark abolished coronavirus restrictions.
The event was Europe’s first concert hosting more than 50,000 people since the pandemic began.
As of September 15, Danish health authorities had recorded 353,451 cases and 2,617 coronavirus deaths.
While vaccines are effective in protecting people against severe disease and death, they cannot stop the infection.
The more contagious Delta variant, for instance, has broken through the vaccines in several countries.
