Editor Lavdim Hamidi writes that every time Edita Tahiri (Kosovo’s outgoing Deputy Prime Minister) and Agim Bahtiri (Mitrovica mayor) talk about removing a barricade in the city of Mitrovica one can expect a new barricade to be built. “With such leaders of institutions one can expect that even a politician from a neighboring country, such as the case of Marko Djuric, head of the Serbian Government’s Office for Kosovo, can have authority in the state of Kosovo. Meanwhile, in the northern part of the country, the authority of Kosovo institutions, led by Edita Tahiri, is melting away like snowflakes,” Hamidi writes.
