Karin Lindal was also quoted as saying that "if there is no law in a certain field", they will rely on UNMIK's regulations.

Speaking about the mission's operation, she said that EULEX would use Kosovo laws that referred to the work of judges and policemen.

"We are realizing the Kosovo constitution, not the constitutional framework," she said in an interview for the Priština Albanian-language daily Koha Ditore, adding that the arrival of EULEX had been delayed "due to the legal framework of that decision, that is the lack of a new UN SC resolution", Tanjug reported.

"Legal experts in New York and Brussels are trying to find a legal framework for the start of an undisturbed operation of EULEX, which would be under UNMIK's umbrella," the spokesperson told the newspaper.

Lindal said that the mission's mandate was "not the result of the Martti Ahtisaari package, but was rather based on a decision reached at the EU summit in December last year".
