  1. EULEX has acted in strict compliance with its mandate at all times, and will continue to do so with the support we have thus far enjoyed both from Pristina and from Belgrade. We are aware of the prevailing tensions, and I therefore call on the relevant authorities in Belgrade and Pristina to continue to support us in implementing our mandate.

  2. The Serbian police have offered to assist in conducting the investigation and the Mission is cooperating with them. Members of the Council should know that all necessary steps have been and will continue to be taken to arrest the guilty as quickly as possible. Nonetheless, I should emphasize that the investigation is ongoing and we therefore cannot go into detail. Certain allegations that have appeared in the press are based purely on speculation, and it is important that the investigation be conducted with the calm that this kind of situation demands. What is needed from now on is moderation and restraint. In conclusion, I emphasize that there has never been any risk of a general deterioration of the security situation in the city and even less so in the rest of Kosovo.

  3. Petar Miletic', Secretary-General of the Independent Liberal Party and a member of the Kosovo Parliament, sustained a bullet wound. It should also be emphasized that the Kosovo police, who wanted to investigate the incident, were forbidden access to Mitrovica Hospital, in the North of Kosovo, by Kosovar Serbs, in violation of the proper functioning of law and order. Lastly, I should mention that EULEX personnel have been the target of threats from radical elements in northern Kosovo that highlight the risks incurred by those cooperating with the Mission. Such threats are unacceptable, and I can only condemn them as strongly as possible. The investigation of Friday's events is being led by the local police force from Pristina, with assistance from EULEX.

  4. Some 10 people were injured, and an eleventh, of Bosniak-Kosovar origin, died that afternoon after his evacuation to Mitrovica hospital. The EULEX Mission has firmly condemned this act of Violence. It turned later out that the explosion resulted from the detonation of a grenade. It will be understood that the explosion created a certain amount of confusion, forcing EULEX to forbid access to the street leading to the Ministry offices. The situation rapidly calmed down, with the crowd dispersing early in the afternoon. The victim's funeral took place without incident the following day, attracting a few hundred people, who later dispersed. The situation has been calm since then. Unfortunately, yesterday, Monday, a Kosovar Serb, Mr.

  5. I would now like to go over the incidents that have just unfolded in Mitrovica. Following the decision of the Kosovo institutions to open a branch of their Ministry of Interior and Local Affairs in the Bosniak Mahalla neighbourhood of Mitrovica, north of the Ibar river, the following events took place on Friday 2 July. Early in the morning, Kosovar Serb demonstrators gathered near the building to express their opposition. Local police and EULEX police units were present. The demonstration took place peacefully, and the demonstrators handed a petition to the Ministry's workers, asking them to close the branch. At about 10 a.m., an explosion was heard in a parallel street, around 600 metres from the premises of the Ministry office. The local police quickly went to the site and coordinated rescue operations.

  6. I would like to thank the Security Council for having invited us here today. First of all, I would like to condemn the incidents that took place Friday morning, and in particular the loss of human life. I also wish to extend my condolences to the family of Dr. Dzekovie. I would like to start by reminding the Council that the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX) is deployed throughout the whole of Kosovo, pursuant to the mandate entrusted to it by the Council of the European Union within the framework defined by the report of the Secretary-General dated 24 November 2008 (S/2008/692) and welcomed by the Security Council in its presidential statement of 26 November 2008 (S/PRST/2008/44). This mandate entrusts the Mission with clear operational responsibilities, particularly in the maintenance of law and order.
