Kosovo's Prime Minister recently expressed his support for fully reopening a bridge in Mitrovica, emphasizing that it would promote free movement and pose no threat to any party involved. The bridge, which has been closed to passenger vehicle traffic for over a decade, has been a point of contention between the Serb-dominated north and ethnic Albanian south of the city.
The ongoing debate surrounding the bridge stems from concerns raised by minority ethnic Serbs, who fear potential repercussions if ethnic Albanians are allowed unrestricted access. Despite the existing division in Mitrovica, the Prime Minister highlighted the importance of freedom of movement, the rule of law, and peace and security in justifying the decision to fully reopen the bridge.
