COUNCIL DECISION (CFSP) 2021/904
of 3 June 2021
amending Joint Action 2008/124/CFSP
on the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (*) (EULEX KOSOVO)
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on European Union, and in particular Articles 42(4) and 43(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy,
Whereas:
|
(1) |
On 4 February 2008, the Council adopted Joint Action 2008/124/CFSP (1). |
|
(2) |
On 11 June 2020, the Council adopted Decision (CFSP) 2020/792 (2), amending Joint Action 2008/124/CFSP and extending the Mission until 14 June 2021. |
|
(3) |
In the context of the Strategic Review of EULEX KOSOVO, the Political and Security Committee (PSC) agreed that the Mission should be extended until 14 June 2023 and that the task of providing operational support to the EU-facilitated dialogue should be transferred to the European Union Office in Kosovo by 31 December 2022. |
|
(4) |
Nothing in this Decision should be understood as prejudicing the independence and the autonomy of the judges and prosecutors active in judicial proceedings in the context of EULEX KOSOVO. |
|
(5) |
Due to the special character of the activities of EULEX KOSOVO in support of the relocated judicial proceedings within a Member State, it is appropriate to identify in this Decision the amount envisaged to cover the support to those relocated judicial proceedings and to provide for the implementation of that part of the budget through a grant. |
|
(6) |
Joint Action 2008/124/CFSP should be amended accordingly. |
|
(7) |
EULEX KOSOVO will be conducted in the context of a situation which may deteriorate and could impede the achievement of the objectives of the Union’s external action as set out in Article 21 of the Treaty, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
Joint Action 2008/124/CFSP is hereby amended as follows:
|
(1) |
in Article 3, the following sentence is added: ‘The task of providing operational support to the EU-facilitated Dialogue shall be transferred to the European Union Office in Kosovo by 31 December 2022.’; |
|
(2) |
Article 16 is amended as follows:
|
|
(3) |
in Article 20, second paragraph, the first sentence is replaced by the following: ‘It shall expire on 14 June 2023.’. |

This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
Done at Luxembourg, 3 June 2021.
