European Union’s mission in Kosovo EULEX will be fully operational within fall, said EU’s foreign policy chief Javier Solana after the statement by Ban Ki Moon that allows EULEX’s operation according to Resolution 1244.

 

Solana said that in Kosovo currently there are 400 members of EULEX and “until this mision is completely established, UNMIK will have all the responsibilities.” He added that EU’s aim is to have the mission completely operational by autumn.

Solana made these statements immediately after the United Nations Secretary General, Ban Ki-Moon, announced that he had made recommendations for the start of reconfiguration of the UNMIK mission in Kosovo. Ki-Moon will present a more detailed quarterly report on Kosovo to the UN Security Council on 25 July.
