Papadopoulos: Kosovo still needs EULEX

In the exclusive interview given to <x0 Ditore”, Papadopoulos, who leaves the mission to take place in the cabinet of Greece's new prime minister, says he has identified many of the shortcomings of the Kosovo judiciary in the work here, and a number of Sosh have started addressing institutions. He believes EULEX should remain in Kosovo because it still has a role to play.

In terms of war crimes, it reveals that the main problem for a long time was the fact that Kosovo laws were unable to try judgment in absentia, but that now, that this has been addressed, there are many war crimes cases committed by Serbs and that EULEX has carried them to local authorities, and these already have no obstacle to being tried in Kosovo.

In the end, Papadopoulos says he leaves sad and sad Kosovo due to the departure of people from the country.

K.D.: Thank you for the interview with us on your last day here. Sorry to see you leave, but we also want to see progress. What can you tell us about the last three years you were here? It's been three years since you were appointed, and the mission has been over 10 years since he came here, so what is your assessment?

Papadopoulos: Thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to talk to you, and through you to citizens who will take time to read what I have to say about the role and role of EULEX and the overall situation in Kosovo and the rule of law. First of all, let's go back 10 years. More than 10 years have passed since EULEX has started work, and one thing is indisputable: progress has been made.
