EULEX spokesman Christophe Lamfalussy on Wednesday made a statement on the first anniversary of the arrival of EULEX arrival in Kosovo.
All achievements made by Kosovo in the police, customs and judiciary sectors are also achievements of this EU mission.
“EULEX has come to Kosovo to support it and any success of Kosovo is also a success for EULEX,” Lamfalussy said in the statement to Tanjug.
One of the EULEX successes is the deployment of over 2,500 people in the past year, including judges, police and customs officers, he said.
As regards the judiciary, EULEX prosecutors took over 1,000 cases during the year and about 50 sentences were issued, Lamfalussy said.
