The European Union is yet to set a date for its mission in Kosovo, EULEX, to deploy, a spokeswoman for Javier Solana says. However, Christina Gallach told the Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti that the mission will start its work this week. Still no date for EULEX deployment Asked whether the date for this will be December 2, as previously announced, Gallach said that "December 2 is not guaranteed", and that the exact date will be given in the coming days. Meanwhile in Pristina, a spokesman for EULEX told the same newspaper that some 1,300 internationals and several hundred locals are ready to implement the EU mission. Victor Ruter repeated that this mission is of "a technical character". He also said that EULEX did not take part in the negotiations over UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's six-point plan, but that this mission "maintains its mandate based on a collective decision of the 27 EU member states, adopted at the beginning of February this year".
