EULEX assigns judges to Mitrovica

EULEX deputy chief Roy Reeve said seven judges were assigned to the court in northern Kosovska Mitrovica. The judges were assigned in order to reduce the backlog in 20,000 unresolved cases. Reeve said that the EU is trying to form trial chambers made up of Serb, ethnic Albanian and EULEX judges. The court in Kosovska Mitrovica has not operated at full capacity for over two years.
