Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, what recent reports he has received on corruption in EULEX Kosovo.

The Government has been following reports of alleged corruption in EULEX Kosovo closely. In addition to reporting in the media, the matter has been discussed among Member States in EU working groups and the UK has made it clear to the EEAS that a thorough response is needed. The Government therefore welcomes the independent investigation into the issue recently announced by the EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and looks forward to its findings in due course.
