The EULEX Rule of Law mission would once again like to clarify the fact that we have not been involved in any agreement which conditions the movement of EULEX staff and vehicles in northern Kosovo. There have been reports in some quarters that EULEX has been involved in some such agreement. This is untrue. The mission insists on free, unconditional and permanent access for its staff and vehicles. This is non-negotiable and is an absolute prerequisite for the mission to pursue its rule of law mandate in this part of Kosovo.
