Kosovo President Atifete Jahjaga said in her letter to EU High Representative Catherine Ashton she will ask for an extended mandate for EULEX and the establishment of the Court of Kosovo with seats in Kosovo and abroad to address allegations made in the 2010 Council of Europe report.
“I ask for your support in making these important steps to further strengthen rule of law in Kosovo with EULEX’s support, to address war crimes allegations and to advance our Euro-Atlantic aspirations,” Jahjaga said.
The paper notes that President Jahjaga made a different assessment from other political leaders when she referred to the Special Court that will address war crimes allegedly committed by the former Kosovo Liberation Army. Jahjaga said the establishment of the court would strengthen rule of law in Kosovo.
