Bahtiri: Border will be delimitated this month
(TV21)
The issue of administrative border dividing the two municipalities of Mitrovicë/Mitrovica, the southern and the northern one, has become a subject to contradiction from officials of both municipalities.
Leaders of Mitrovicë/Mitrovica south municipality insist that Suhadoll village belongs to the southern municipality, while leaders of Mitrovica/Mitrovicë north state the opposite.
However, Agim Bahtiri, Mayor of Mitrovicë/Mitrovica south municipality, says that this issue will be closed over the course of this month. He says that they are preparing a Memorandum of Cooperation and one on division of the borders.
“As far as the dialogue in Brussels is concerned, we do not have to dialogue any longer about this issue there. Everything will be done in Prishtinë/Pristina and Mitrovicë/Mitrovica. We will also have the administrative borders which will be set in October,” Bahtiri said.
The issue of Kosovo’s division according to ethnicities is opposed by the Alliance for the Future of Kosovo (AAK). According to this political entity, the country must function as a single territorial unit.
Vetëvendosje Movement is also against the administrative division of Mitrovicë/Mitrovica. Its officials say that data on division of administrative borders of Mitrovicë/Mitrovica are being kept secret and that they will also oppose this division with different forms.

Head of Vetëvendosje Movement, Visar Ymeri, has raised doubts about the Law that Kosovo Government is preparing for Trepça mining complex.
At a press conference, Ymeri said that the fact Government has announced submission of the Law on Trepça on 02 November, but it still hasn’t said a word about it, demonstrates that it is hesitating to make it public and is hiding it from the Assembly.
Ymeri said it is absurd that Government still is not bringing it to the Assembly despite the calls of MPs, and that this is an issue that Government should be asked about.
AAK leader, Ramush Haradinaj, has also accused the Government for delay of the Law on Trepça. In a debate with citizens, Haradinaj said that Kosovo Government has not given signals that it has it clear what it will do with Trepça.

Abdixhiku: Citizens have distanced from opposition
(TV21)
Kosovo politics continues to treat second level issues, thus leaving aside the issues that citizen of this country faces, such as unemployment, health, education, and so on.
On the other hand, parliamentary opposition is far from articulating citizens’ dissatisfactions; therefore, the latter have distanced from this opposition, which is choosing radical forms to oppose processes. These were the comments of political analyst and director of Riinvest Institute, Lumir Abdixhiku, TV21 reported.
Abdixhiku believes that opposition needs to change in order to remove this way of governance. According to him, with its actions, opposition is only prolonging the life of this authority.
According to Abdixhiku, “Pronto” affair has demonstrated that the state in Kosovo has been captured in its each segment, starting from investigation, prosecution, Police, committees and boards.
