Vice President of the Student Parliament of Pristina University, temporary relocated to the Mitrovica North, Jovan Aleksic said that this institution has a national significance which is not sufficiently recognized and exploited. Aleksic said that without the university Mitrovica would be more of an urban enclave in Kosovo, doomed to disappear. "We should be aware that more than 10,000 students study at Pristina University, which means more than 10,000 future teachers, doctors, engineers, linguists, etc. So it has enormous potential that is not sufficiently exploited," he said. Aleksic was speaking at a panel discussion organized by the NGO "Aktiv" in cooperation with NGO "Synergy". The panel discussion was organized within the "Civil society is watching, the demand for accountability and transparency at the local level," project which was supported by the European Union Office in Kosovo.
