On 13 August, the Acting Head of EULEX, Bernd Thran, held a meeting with the Minister of Justice, Abelard Tahiri, during which they agreed to continue pushing forward with the technical rule-of-law work both the Ministry and EULEX have been engaged in.

Mr Thran praised the work of the Ministry, in particular the Justice 2020 initiative, which the Mission had noted as an encouraging programme whose momentum should be sustained.

Both Minister Tahiri and Mr Thran agreed that the Ministry’s technical work should continue, regardless of the evolving political situation.

Mr Thran underlined that EULEX would continue unreservedly to support the Ministry’s work, which is one of the key parts of the Mission’s mandate.
