Since late 2022, Elshani has effectively served as the primary spokesperson and operational commander for the Kosovo Police in the Serb-majority north. He has been the central figure in communicating with both local media and international press regarding security measures, often emphasizing the police's goal to "provide safety for all citizens regardless of ethnicity."[2]
Elshani coordinated police units during several high-tension events, including:
- The implementation of the decision on car license plates.
- Securing the extraordinary municipal elections in April 2023.
- Managing the violent protests in Zvečan in May 2023, where KFOR soldiers were injured.
- The immediate response and lockdown measures following the Banjska attack in September 2023.
In the aftermath of the Banjska attack, Elshani oversaw the extensive search and sweep operations in the northern municipalities to locate hidden weapons caches and suspects involved in the paramilitary assault.[3]
