The Interim Administrative Council today endorsed draft regulations on the departments of Justice and Public Services.
Once signed by the SRSG, the departments will become officially operational.
The IAC also discussed in detail two draft regulations dealing with preparations for the municipal elections due later this year - one on the registration of political parties and the other on creation of a central election commission. These regulations will be the subjects of continuing work and discussions, said Jock Covey, Principal Deputy Special Representative of the Secretary-General, following the meeting.
The IAC was briefed on the situation in Mitrovica and the efforts to return quickly those who were displaced during the recent disturbances. Members also discussed the draft joint strategy for Mitrovica and its implementation.
The IAC also agreed on its internal rules of procedure for its work.
