EULEX used to be the biggest and most expensive civilian mission of this kind established by the European Union (EU) in any country. According to EU Council Decision of 8 June 2018, EULEX will still remain in Kosovo, until 2020, but it will have a new mandate which will include monitoring and advising judiciary, Correctional Service, as well as support to the Specialized Court and to implementation of agreements reached in the dialogue on normalization of relations between Kosovo and Serbia.
