Statement by the Head of EU Office/EU Special Representative, Nataliya Apostolova

The EU expresses deep concern on the lack of implementation of the 19 May 2016 Constitutional Court ruling on the land dispute case in Decan/e and others affecting properties of members from non-majority communities. Decisions by Kosovo's highest legal authority are final and must be implemented without further delay. The EU calls on authorities at all levels to strongly uphold the rule of law as a fundamental democratic principle.
