Charges have been filed by Kosovo Anti-Corruption Agency against mayors and most of local councilors from northern municipalities, because they failed to report their property in line with Kosovo laws.

The President of the North Mitrovica local assembly, Ksenija Bozovic, explained that charges were actually filed because mayors and councilors did not have any evidence that they reported their property, although they did report it.

The director of the Kosovo government’s Administrative Office in North Mitrovica, Adrijana Hodzic, said that there is a possibility that the office might not exist next year under the same name.

"If we estimate that we cannot achieve the basic interests and that we cannot change what is the most important for us, we will certainly leave the government. But let's give these people a chance and let’s see if they are sincere when they say that they want Serbs in Kosovo", said Kosovo's Deputy Prime Minister Branimir Stojanovic.

If Serbia immediately fulfil at least three of the 11 conditions that had come from the EU headquarters, the first negotiating chapter could be open at the end of January - learn Novosti.

The first of nine conditions set by the Serbian List for a coalition with the prime minister of Kosovo is the Community/Association of Serbian municipalities (ZSO), whose formation was agreed in Brussels a year and eight months ago.

The ZSO was the main argument of the official Belgrade, led by Aleksandar Vulin, to motivate Serbs in Kosovo to participate in the Kosovo local elections held last year.

Citizens in northern Kosovo should engage actively in monitoring the implementation of the Brussels Agreement on the field, and manage and monitor Fond for the North, said analyst Dusan Janjic at a debate about collection of customs revenues provided by the Brussels Agreement and its so far implementation on the field.

Citizens of North Mitrovica are disturbed in last couple weeks with frequent assaults and robberies carried out by unknown groups in vicinity of students’ dormitories and Technical School in the town. Citizens who were interviewed lately are particularly upset by rumors on alleged attempts of rape.

After former mayor of Zubin Potok, Slavisa Ristic, voluntarily reported himself to EULEX for questioning ten days ago, incumbent Mayor of Zubin Potok, Stevan Vulovic, also reported himself voluntarily three days ago. They both escaped to Serbia after Kosovo Police tried to summon them for interrogation in mid-July upon the order issued by EULEX.

The EULEX Prosecution has not filed an indictment against Slavisa Ristic, a former president of Zubin Potok, who is suspected of alleged serious crimes. After hours of interrogation, Ristic was determined the measure of mandatory reporting to the Mitrovica and Zubin Potok police station.

At these moments Mayor of Zubin Potok Municipality, Stevan Vulovic, is being questioned by a prosecutor of EULEX, learns KoSSev from several unofficial sources. EULEX was not able to confirm the information, whereas Vulovic was not available on his usual telephone numbers.
