Mitrovica, Kosovo

The President of the Committee for Kosovo and Metohija, Milovan Drecun, assessed that the initiative to open the bridge on the Ibar is part of the preparations for occupying the north of Kosovo.
This is the plan of the Prime Minister of the temporary institutions of Pristina, Albin Kurti.

BELGRADE - Former North Mitrovica Mayor Milan Radojevic said on Monday the situation in the north of Kosovo-Metohija was extremely difficult and that this had especially been the case since local Serbs left Pristina's institutions last November, and noted that no one in the international community was concerned about when Pristina's PM Albin Kurti would stop a repression against the Serbs.

BELGRADE - The head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Petar Petkovic said on Friday Pristina's PM Albin Kurti wanted to openly provoke war and expel Serbs from Kosovo-Metohija and that an occupation by Kurti and Erden Atic, the so-called mayor of the north of Kosovska Mitrovica, had begun.

In North Mitrovica, the newly elected mayor Erden Ati was sworn in today, they told Kosovo Online from EULEX, stressing that their forces are on alert 24 hours a day and are ready to react quickly.

The newly elected mayor of the Kosovo-Serb majority municipality of North Mitrovica took his oath of office on Friday in a tense atmosphere following extraordinary local elections a month ago that most local Serbs shunned. 

Erden Atic is a member of the ruling Vetvendosje party, which has few members in the town.

BELGRADE - The head of the Serbian parliamentary committee on Kosovo-Metohija Milovan Drecun said on Monday Pristina was using institutional violence and that last week's local elections in the north of Kosovo-Metohija were a "simulation."

KOSOVSKA MITROVICA - The head of the Serbian government Office for Kosovo-Metohija Petar Petkovic said on Wednesday special police forces of the so-called Kosovo had arrested three Post of Serbia employees in the north of Kosovo-Metohija earlier in the day.

"What happened was the defeat of Kurti and his regime. What happened was more than that, yesterday the Serbian people showed that they are looking for a different approach from the international community, above all from the Western powers, that they are looking for greater respect, dialogue, and not imposition of the solutions," said Vui.

Just to recall that 1,566 Albanians and 13 Serbs took part in the special elections in four municipalities in the north of Kosovo and Metohija, said the director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija, Petar Petkovi. Petkovi specified that in the north of Kosovska Mitrovica, two persons of Serbian nationality voted, seven in Leposavic, four in Zvean, and none in Zubin Potok.

"Sunday would be a day when the shame of Europe and the world will be officially marked because of what they organized and what they are doing," said Vui.
