EULEX: no deal to suspend any operation during Kosovo election campaign

The Pristina daily Zeri reported that EULEX made a promise not to arrest politicians suspected of crime and abuse of office. Elections are scheduled for December 12. The daily quoted a EULEX official as saying: "The suspicions of having committed crimes refer to certain high-ranking officials of several parties that are taking part in the pre-election campaign for early elections to be held on December 12."

Several Kosovo politicians are under investigation by EULEX.
