It turns out that shaking of hands and the pledge made by Mitrovicë/Mitrovica south mayor Agim Bahtiri and Mitrovica/Mitrovicë north mayor Goran Rakic a month ago for solving the problem at “Kroi i Vitakut” neighbourhood was just momentary.
No matter that the two mayors said that the problem would be solved within weeks, more than a month has passed since the Albanians have not been allowed to continue with reconstruction of their houses.
Municipal councillor from Mitrovica/Mitrovicë north municipality, Emir Azemi, said that the agreement reached comes out to be unilateral and that the demographic structure is changing with it.
According to Azemi, the main obstacle comes from the local Serbs, but also the political staff led by the mayor of Mitrovica/Mitrovicë north Goran Rakic, who never made any efforts to publically state that Albanians should return to their land.
On the other hand, representative of “Kroi i Vitakut” neighbourhood, Nazmi Smajli, said that it the last chance for the Kosovo Government to step in this process and assist with funds for reconstruction of over 60 houses.
