The Office of the European Union in Pristina informed Radio Free Europe (RFE), that the recent construction works by the River Iber in Mitrovica are in accordance with the reached agreements between Kosovo and Serbia and that no dividing wall is being built there.
Media in Kosovo reported during the past days that a new wall is being built close to the River Iber bridge with the intention of dividing Albanians and Serbs. “The plan of the roundabout in northern part of Mitrovica is a result of the agreement signed in Pristina on 4 February 2017 and in accordance with the Brussels agreement signed on 25 August 2015. This will connect the EU project for revitalization of the bridge in Mitrovica and the buildings around, as well as the project to make the “Kralj Petar” square passable for pedestrians,” replied this Office. “All works are expected to conclude by the end of this month,” was stressed in their statement.
