After the statement of the mayor of Mitrovica North, Goran Rakić, that the concrete wall between north and south Mitrovica will not be demolished but only redesigned with stairs which would be connected to the roundabout that will be built in the northern part, Kosovo’s Minister for Dialogue, Edita Tahiri, told Indeksonline that the wall will be removed. “It is a wall that appeared illegally. All institutions, the government and opposition are against this wall and the logic of walls,” Tahiri said.

She said that the President of Kosovo, the Prime Minister and the Assembly President have made their position clear: there will be no wall and it will be removed very soon. “The wall was not part of the agreements in Brussels. In fact, with this wall Serbia has violated the Brussels agreement,” Tahiri said.
