Ksenija Bozovic believes that the unrest occurred due to premature removal of the barricades on the Ibar/Iber Bridge that connects North and South Mitrovica.

Pointing out that people were not involved in the removal of barricades from the bridge over the Ibar/Iber River, North Mitrovica Municipal Assembly President Ksenija Bozovic (CI SDP) says that trust is not yet built between Albanians and Serbs, and that it was not time of the removal of barricade.

"Just because of the fear among the citizens and incidents that happened yesterday, we see that it was not time of removing the barricade. Conditions still are not acquired, the confidence of both communities is not gained," said Bozovic to KiM radio.

Božović considers that it is necessary to engage both Mayors (North and South Mitrovica) to calm tensions, and international representatives.

"I think that both mayors must sit at the table. All relevant institutions starting from the Government of Kosovo, mayors and the international community must lead to easing of situations and calming tensions because there were enough conflicts," Bozovic said.
