According to him, the petition he submitted days ago to the Assembly of the Republic of Kosovo has been rejected by the Ministry of Management and Power Local (MAPL).

The problem is that nobody's dares take courage and act. I have prepared parliamentary groups and will be voted in majority as soon as I go to the Assembly session of the Republic of Kosovo. I sent it to parliament and he sent it to Government, and Government to the Ministry of Management and Local Power (MAPL). MAPL recommended the decision to reject it.

Mayor Bahtiri also said he would not allow Albanians living in the country's north to be led by Serbian illegal structures.

“De facto, de juro I have executive competencies to make decisions in northern Mitrovica, and I will not allow Albanians to be under the leadership of Serbian illegal structures. I have every initiative in behalf of citizens. This request is for citizens”, he added.

I'm trying to do the impossible and we're negotiating new contracts from unity and they're gonna be paid out of town. I think it's changed, but we're keeping it better than it was. Every house has its own container, and every week the company goes and takes the trash. Now we're finishing the recycling plant and making new contracts as an annex contracts. I had asked the citizens of Mitrovica to maintain their purity by shooting the remains in the designated” band, Mitrovica Chairman Agim Bahtiri said among other things.
