Radio Kontakt Plus reports that today in South Mitrovica, at the proposal of Mayor Agim Bahtiri, signing of the petition for “unification” of Mitrovica has begun.

Bahtiri announced on Friday that he would launch the signing of a petition for the “unification” of Mitrovica together with the citizens of that municipality and that he hoped that the petition would be signed by Serbs from the northern part of the city.

North Mitrovica Mayor Goran Rakić said today that setting up the street names in the Albanian language in Suvi Do/Suhidoll was illegal and unacceptable, and he recalled that the municipality of Mitrovica North and South have not signed the memorandum on delimitation.

Rakić also said that the relevant ministries would put pressure on the South Mitrovica municipal authorities in order to stop these activities, which he has strongly condemned.

Political analyst Nexhmedin Spahiu says that the question of the Temple of the Christ the Saviour in Pristina could been resolved if the Bishop of the Diocese of Raška and Prizren Teodosije and Deputy Prime Minister, Branimir Stojanović would seek the restoration of the mosque in North Mitrovica, which is located next to the main bridge.

Mayor of South Mitrovica, Agim Bahtiri announced the revitalization of the bridge to the Albanian media in Kosovo that for years separates the southern and northern part of the city.
