Serbs from Mitrovica North will not accept the violent integration with Mitrovica South, Srpska Lista Deputy Chair, Igor Simic said, commenting on an initiative to unite the town, Tanjug news agency reported. “Serbs from northern part of Mitrovica will not accept violent integration into any system, since nobody wants to replace something that is good and has quality with something that does not function,” Simic told TV Pink. He added that Mitrovica North “represents an obstacle to extremists’ advancement” since 1999 until today, and this way municipalities of Zubin Potok, Leposavic and Zvecan were protected as well as the economic potential of hydro-power plant Gazivode and Trepca.
