While Kosovo's various cities are marking the 25th anniversary of the end of the war in Kosovo, northern Albanian citizens, but also Mitrovica in general, do not feel the full smell of freedom, because, as they say, their city has never been fully liberated and continues to remain occupied.
According to him, the lives of Albanians in that part of the country that 25 years continues to be difficult.
He said the smell of freedom felt in Prizren is not the same in northern Mitrovica.
Even Maliq Sylejmani, another resident from the north of this city, stressed that he lacks the sense of Kosovo's liberation holiday because of the circumstances existing in the town of Mitrovica.
On the other hand, Halit Baran, chairman of KMDLNJ in Mitrovica, has suggested that the Mitrovicas do not have to enjoy liberation, because their town has not yet been freed.
According to him, Mitrovica's occupied part is not released with police, but a political solution and international support is needed.
As for the latter, he said they are continuing to hold the opening of the Ibër main bridge, he blamed all the governments up to date for not working properly in this direction, but only for their personal interests.
Otherwise, on June 12th 1999 in Kosovo, the first troops of NATO infantry arrived and the departure of Serbian forces began as citizens celebrated freedom on the streets, even though the war officially ended two days earlier, the day the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1244. /Kosovopress
