The Serb mayor of North Mitrovica resigned in protest over Pristina’s tariff hike on Serbian imports, with the mayors of the three other Serb-majority municipalities in NorthKosovo expected to follow suit.
The Serb mayor of North Mitrovica, Goran Rakic, told an extraordinary session of the local assembly in the northern Kosovo town on Tuesday that he is resigning because of Pristina’s decision to increase import tariffs on Serbian goods and because of violations of the human rights of Serbs living in Kosovo.
Rakic also said he was resigning because of an operation by police special forces in northern Kosovo on Friday, in which three Serbs were arrested for suspected involvement in the murder of Kosovo Serb politician Oliver Ivanovic, and a fourth Serb detained for obstructing police officers.
