EULEX chief Pieter Feith yesterday decided to temporarily withdraw staff from the EU mission in northern Kosovo. The Dutch diplomat confirmed this as he visited the town of Prizren yesterday. Kosovo: EU mission leaves north "We have temporarily withdrawn our staff, but we will keep the office in the north. We hope that conditions will soon allow us to resume our activities," he said. Feith also called on Serbs in the province to cooperate with the EU mission, which Serbia rejects, as illegal, since it is not in line with valid UN Resolution 1244. "I would like to ask the Serb community to be generous, to turn the page and to work with us, because the projects that we must work on with the Kosovo government are for the good of the Serb community, too," Feith appealed. Asked about the "future relationship between Serbia and Kosovo". the EU envoy said "there will be special ties between Serbia and Kosovo's Serbs", and went on to say: "It goes without saying, if the government of Kosovo agrees and if Serbia recognizes Kosovo's independence," Feith was quoted as saying by news agencies.
