BELGRADE - The rule of law remains a priority for Eulex, as does the implementation of what has been agreed in the Belgrade-Pristina dialogue, the head of the EU rule of law mission in Kosovo, Bernd Borchardt, has said.

Borchardt, whose mandate has been extended until June 2016, told Monday's issue of Vecernje novosti that Eulex staff will no longer head the major judicial institutions in Kosovo, and that the mission's judges will be a minority in Kosovo's courts.

EULEX chief Bernd Borchardt and British ambassador Ian Cliff met with Prime Minister Hashim Thaci this morning. Thaci’s office confirmed the meeting but did not provide further information. The news agency notes that Cliff and Borchardt visited the government of Kosovo one day after the Mitrovica riots.
