EULEX urges investigation after claims for “mishandling” of a Serb by Kosovo Police

“You remember that through our monitoring and advisory role, E ULEX remains committed to supporting rule of law in Kosovo institutions so that they will be stable, responsible and able to effectively guarantee the rights of all without discrimination. If serious shortcomings are identified through monitoring activities, the Mission will resolve them with relevant authorities responsible”, they said.
