Haradinaj comments EULEX judge's statement, which said they intended to eliminate Limaj from politics

Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj has been interviewed by Politico for statements by former EULEX Judges Chairman Malcolm Simmons, who, in addition, said EULEX for political motives aimed at eliminating Fatmir Limaj's political scene.

Haradinaj has said that Simmons' “declarations would be respected more if they were said earlier during the time he served in Kosovo, rather than at the end of his term”.

The prime minister, standing in Brussels, has also confirmed that on EULEX staff, there are mostly good judges, but that there are concerns from time to time about the quality of this mission.

“There are (members of EULEX) who are committed to order and law. But, there is sometimes concern about the quality and standards used”, Haradinaj told Politico.
