Kosovo Albanian representatives insist that the Peace Park, situated on the main bridge on the river Ibar in Kosovska Mitrovica is removed as soon as possible, while Serbs say that removal of the Park without any previous agreement could destabilize the situation.
The head of the Kosovska Mitrovica District, Vasa Jelić, said that Serbs from northern Kosovo and the Serbian Government believe that the Peace Park should stay until an agreement on that issue is reached and the situation in northern Kosovo is stabilized.
The Park was set after a barricade, which had been on the same site for almost three years. After the removal of the barricade, Kosovo Albanians kept coming from the southern to the northern part of Mitrovica, which caused fear among the Serbs and prompted them to set a park on that site.
