The Kosovo President said that no one is above the law and that the courts will be allowed to do their job in the case of Minister Fatmir Limaj.

EULEX police searched the offices of the ministry ten days ago, as well as Limaj's personal property.

Limaj is suspected of a misuse of position, corruption and accepting bribes.

Daily Koha Ditore writes that Sejdiu said that it is in the interest of everyone in Kosovo for all working officials to do their jobs, and believes that all Kosovo officials agree with this stance.

EULEX prosecutor Johannes Van Vreeswijk stated on Friday that the prosecution and police have evidence of misuses worth several million euros and that there are six other investigations into corruption and organized crime being led in addition to the investigation of Limaj.
