Xavier de Marnhac, the Head of EULEX Kosovo, will visit Tirana 2-3 December 2010 for the first time in his capacity as Head of Mission.

In this introductory visit de Marnhac will meet the Albanian Ministers of Justice, Interior and Finance. The visit is one in a series, which also includes visits to Belgrade, Skopje and Podgorica, and will provide an opportunity to discuss the tackling of serious crime in a regional context and other rule of law matters where EULEX is involved.
