EULEX and local authorities stepping up the pace In the past three weeks, EULEX has used its executive powers in the areas of corruption, organized crime and war crimes. Both the EULEX judges and prosecutors and EULEX police have been variously involved in searches, investigations, arrests and convictions.
Suspects involved in graft have included the Governor of the Central Bank of Kosovo, the PTK director, an ex Permanent Secretary from the Ministry of Health, a former Pristina District Court judge, an IT administrator in the Kosovo Government while an ex KLA leader has been arrested suspected of war crimes. EULEX’s actions in this regard demonstrate an important aspect of the rule of the law, namely that no individual, regardless of his status, is beyond the reach of the law.
