Kosovapress reported that officials from opposition parties in the municipal assembly of Mitrovica – the Democratic Party of Kosovo (PDK) and the Democratic League of Kosovo (LDK) – walked out of the urgent meeting called to discuss the construction of the wall by Serbian leadership in Mitrovica North. The meeting was expected to result in a joint statement condemning the construction of the wall but the PDK and LDK representatives left the meeting after accusing Mitrovica Mayor Agim Bahtiri of not allowing a debate. At the same time, Klan Kosova quoted Bahtiri as saying that the construction of the wall was a “provocation” by the Serbs aimed at preventing the implementation for revitalization of Iber River bridge. “When we managed to remove 36 barricades, we will also do so with the wall,” Bahtiri is quoted as saying.
