EU justice mission in Kosovo accused of graft

European Union Rule of Law Mission (EULEX) in Kosovo has been accused graft, in documents leaked by a prosecutor to a national newspaper, Koha Ditore.

The leaked documents reportedly reveal an investigation is being carried out into allegations that senior EULEX officials dropped some criminal charges in Kosovo in exchange for money, reports Reuters.

EULEX declined to comment on the leak. "[EULEX does not comment on] any ongoing investigation, or any leaked document," the body said in a writtern reply to Reuters.

"Allegations are receiving the follow up required," it added.

EULEX was formed to deal with criminal cases deemed too sensitive to be dealt by the local judicial system, included that of war crimes.
