"I had an exceptionally professional cooperation with her. She was the first who opened the topic and she knows all the main players in the region," he said.

According to him, the investigation conducted by Del Ponte would be fully objective and unburdened by things that could affect EULEX.

"I emphasize that witness protection is a key problem in Kosovo and I'm afraid that the environment that EULEX works in could also be a problem. I support the idea that EULEX should conduct the investigation into these crimes with the help from our and Albanian prosecution but under supervision of an international subject," Vukcevic was quoted as saying.

He added, however, that "we of course regardless of this continue to work on the case and we are ready to share our evidence with everybody who will run the investigation".
