I will be very persistent that no citizen in this part feels insecure and concerned about anything. If it is needed I will be here 24 hours a day until there is absolute peace. I call on all citizens regardless of ethnicity to contribute in the direction of cooperation, well-being and good neighborliness, because we need this now and, in the future.

Mayor of Mitrovica, Agim Bahtiri, made these comments today in North Mitrovica, after the attack at the healthcare facility of Suhadoll/Suvi Do which is mostly used by Serb citizens.
