A mission to replace UNMIK, rejected by Belgrade, has been approved by Brussels last night. The 2,000-personnel strong police and judiciary mission, which the European Union dubbed EULEX, was approved at midnight last night, after none of the 27-member states objected to the mission's operative plan, diplomatic sources in Brussels said. EU approves Kosovo mission "The silent procedure was not broken," a source was quoted by Reuters, which the agency said referred to the "low-profile method used to push through the legal documents authorizing the mission." The EU plans to take over all jurisdiction from the previous international mission in the province, UN's UNMIK. Dutch diplomat Pieter Feith will take over from Joachim Ruecker after the interim period. Ethnic Kosovo Albanians are expected to unilaterally declare secession from Serbia. Belgrade rejects both this and the mission's deployment on the grounds that they are illegal.
