In Mitrovica last night, messages urging EULEX to go home were plastered at various locations in the city, including traffic signs. The posters add that the EU mission in Kosovo is "the enemy of the Serbian people." The labels feature a swastika next to the EULEX logo. Some of the labels contain the words: "EULEX GO HOME". Aside from Mitrovica, the messages have also been seen at several locations in Zubin Potok. The perpetrator is not known.

At the same time EULEX accepted release pending trial for Ismet Haxha, one of the KLA members accused for war crimes, committed in Likovac in 1998 and 1999.
