Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
Who can apply for an
internship with EULEX?
The citizens of EU Member States and the citizens of Third
States contributing to EULEX (Norway, Switzerland, Turkey, USA and Canada) can
apply for internships unless the person concerned is a permanent resident in
Kosovo.
What is the meaning of
"supported" and "direct" applicants?
Supported applicants are those candidates that are supported or
nominated through their national authorities; e.g., Ministries of Foreign
Affairs, national development agencies, etc. Direct applicants are those
candidates that do not have the option of support from national authorities and
apply directly to the mission. Supported applicants must send their
applications through their national authorities and EULEX will only consider
them valid through these channels.
What are the basic
requirements?
Applicants need to have completed three years of university
studies corresponding to a Bachelor's degree in a relevant field. If enrolled
in further studies, e.g., for a Master or Ph.D. degree, this will – if stated
in the job description, be considered an asset.
Do I need to have a
driver's license?
No. As interns are not eligible to drive EULEX vehicles, a
driver's license is not a requirement.
Do I need to submit
copies of degrees or other copies with my application?
No. Applicants only need to submit the application form
thoroughly completed as this will be the first stage of assessing candidates.
On entry to the mission, interns need to submit copies of passport, medical
certificate, criminal record certificate, and university degree including proof
of enrolment in further studies, if applicable.
Can I send more than one
application form?
No, we can only accept one application per person, position and
announcement. If more than one application are submitted only the last
application will be considered.
Where in Kosovo will I
serve?
Interns are currently serving only in Pristina.
How long is the
internship for and can it be extended?
The internship lasts 5 months and it cannot be extended.
Can I immediately apply
for regular positions at EULEX during my internship?
No. Interns cannot apply for regular positions during their
internship nor for the next six months following the end of the internship.
Is the internship paid?
Interns receive 750 Euro allowance per month as a compensation
for their living expenses. It is the interns' own responsibility to ensure
whether such an allowance is taxable in their own country.
Am I insured by EULEX
during my internship?
Yes. EULEX provides a comprehensive insurance coverage for the
duration of the internship only. All other insurances are the responsibility of
the intern.
If selected, does EULEX
cover my travel costs to and from the mission?
No. All travel costs to and from the mission must be covered by
the intern or his/her supporting authority.
Do interns accrue leave
days?
Yes. Interns do accrue 2 leave days per month and enjoy the same official
holidays and weekends, as regular EULEX staff members do.
A family member of mine
is working at EULEX, is this a problem?
Not in principle. If interns have any relatives working at
EULEX, this needs to be stated in the application form and only in cases of a
possible conflict of interest, this will be taken into account.
The Application Process in the Internship programme
Can you inform me about
the status of my application?
Only applicants who have been shortlisted and called for an interview
will be kept informed about the status of their application, either directly by
the Mission for direct applicants or through their nominating authorities for
the sponsored ones. All other applicants should assume that if they do not
receive any notification by the time a new internship programme is published,
their application has been unsuccessful.
Do I need to apply again
in a new internship programme if I am still waiting to hear the outcome of my
previous application?
If you have heard nothing you should assume your first
application was unsuccessful and you are welcome to apply again.
I would like to make an
update to my submitted application: how can I do this?
You can send an updated application form with explanations only
before the deadline for submission of applications of the specific internship
programme.
Can I send my application
at any time for possible future positions?
No, only applications submitted before the application deadline
and through the proper channels can be considered. Other applications outside
of this timeframe will be disregarded.
Do I need to sign the
electronic version of the application form?
No signature is required when filling and sending the electronic
version of the application form. However by submitting the form you are
vouching for the accurateness of the information provided. Any misleading
statement may lead to your exclusion from the selection process or to a
termination of the internship.
How will I be notified if
I am selected for interview?
Usually candidates are notified by e-mail.
I was interviewed but
have not heard anything further?
We endeavour to notify all interviewees of the outcome of their
interview. Occasionally due to the very large numbers of applications and
interviews delays might occur.
I fulfil the requirements
asked for in the job description but still was not interviewed, why?
We receive a large amount of applications from interested
candidates making competition for each advertised position very tough.
