18 July
On 18 July 2025, the European Union Rule of Law Mission in Kosovo (EULEX) hosted a
high-ranking Canadian Police delegation at it headquarters. The delegation included Marc
Andrews, Deputy Chief of the Community Policing Operations Command of the Peel
Regional Police, and Chief Superintendent Christopher deGale, Police and Corrections
Advisor at the Permanent Mission of Canada to the United Nations.
EULEX’s Deputy Head of Mission, Emily Rakhorst, hosted the delegation and introduced
them to the Mission’s mandate, highlighting EULEX’s role as one of the largest civilian
mission under the EU's Common Security and Defence Policy and its multifaceted role in
supporting Kosovo rule of law institutions.
The visit, organized by UNMIK INTERPOL Liaison Officer Paolo Cincinnato, offered the
Canadian representatives insights into EULEX’s contributions to international police
cooperation in Kosovo. The discussions also explored potential opportunities for Canada to
deploy seconded personnel to the Mission, given its status as a contributing third country.
