The members of the EU Council committee for Western Balkan have welcomed EULEX's extensive investigations into the cases of high-level corruption and organized crime, as well as the investigation
into war crimes, and qualified the activities as a necessary step to help Kosovo strengthen the rule of law, Koha Ditore reports.

During the committee's debate in Brussels, which the EU special representative Peter Feith attended as well, it was underscored that the (interim) Kosovo authorities have to cooperate with the EULEX mission in Kosovo and support them in their activities, daily reports.

According to the sources, the representatives of a number of countries have welcomed the fact that EULEX has finally embarked upon concrete acivities, and that they have launched, within their competence, an extensive fight against organised crime and corruption.

The sources have once again discarded accusations implying that the investigation EULEX has launched against the Transportation Ministry and other represent political interference.
