“We hope that after his departure, other UNMIK officials will be
more responsible in the establishment of law and order in Mitrovica,”
said Rexhepi today during the regular Committee for Security of the
Mitrovica Municipality.
Rexhepi said that the regional UNMIK administrator was a devotee
of status quo and an obstacle for stabilization of the situation in the
north.
“He prevented projects of reconstruction and the return of the
displaced from the north and reported to the representatives of the
Serb parallel structures on everything.”
According to Rexhepi, the stance of Gallucci on the March events
when Serb mobs attacked the court in Mitrovica killing a UN police
officer and wounding many police officers and KFOR soldiers was an
amnesty for those that committed these acts of violence.
Rexhepi stated: “UNMIK officials should help in the
establishment of order in this part of the country and stop cooperation
with Serb parallel structures which are illegal.”
Rexhepi called the situation in the municipality quiet and improving.
Gerard Gallucci confirmed last week that he has been reassigned
to a new position at the UN mission in East Timor. His UNMIK superiors
requested Gallucci’s resignation over the court issue, but they were
turned down by New York.

... I hope somebody from the Timorese government is reading this so his dubious reputation precedes him. This guy is bad news for your people and I don't understand why UN keeps reshuffling failed people like him instead of taking him off payroll. He's the epitome of UN failure. |
