The director of the Kosovo government's Administrative Office in Mitrovica Adrijana Hodzic says that she doesn’t believe that hundreds of employee in northern Kosovo will remain jobless in next year and that the biggest challenge would be creation of the Association/Community of Serb municipalities (A/CSM).

“I understood that Pristina is not interested for such thing to take place either,” said Hodzic and added that talks should be carried out at higher levels in order to avoid such a catastrophic scenario.

Hodzic went on to say that the biggest challenge in 2015 would be to reach an agreement over the jurisdiction of the A/CSM due to distant stances of Belgrade and Pristina over this issue. “I must stress that expectations from the Association/Community of Serb municipalities, when it comes to citizens and local leadership, are big and that it would huge disappointment if Association/Community of Serb municipalities would not fulfill those expectations,” Hodzid said.
