Today there have been 25 years of massacres on the night of 3 February and 4 February in northern Mitrovica.
The bridge guards had killed ten Albanians, among them children, women and elders. Many others were injured as some 12,000 Albanians were deported who were forced to cross south of the city, leaving their homes on fire.
KMLDNJ has said all these murders were committed in the presence of French KFOR soldiers and international police.
On the night between 3 February and 4 February, Nezir and Shqim Voca, Niman Sejdiu, Bashkim Rrukeci, Sebisa Abashi, Selime Berisha, Muharrem Sokoli, Honor Ajeti, Nerian Jaka and Remzije Canhasi.
According to witnesses, the murder operation had led him Serbia's MPB, former commander Dragan Delibashiq, Oliver Ivanovic and others.
The Constitutional Court in Mitrovica in 2014 had convicted Ivanovic of nine years in prison for war crimes against Albanians during and after the war in Kosovo.
On January 16, 2023, Prime Minister Albin Kurti had chosen the best words to commemorate Serbia's murdered politician, Oliver Ivanovic. For this, the leader of the Vetevendosje Movement had also seen to record a video address, describing Ivanovic as a devoted, open, sincere and respectful person.
Kurti expressed his desire for the memory of Oliver Ivanoviqi to remain alive, as a reminder of a man who “worked hard for a stable future and for a very ethnic Kosovo”.
“Today we commemorate the life and memory of Oliver Ivanovic, on the day of his death. My thoughts and condolences are with his family and friends. Oliver Ivanov was a dedicated person to fight for the interests of his community and city. He did so by being open, sincere, always sharp in matters of importance but also respectful toward those with whom he disagreed. I would like his memory to remain alive, his memory as a man who worked for a stable future and for a very ethnic Kosovo.
Five years ago, Oliver Ivanovic was killed in the streets of Mitrovica. All those who commit a crime in Kosovo must be brought to justice, and I regret that the authors and those who ordered this crime have not yet been brought to justice. The commitment of all relevant institutions is needed to find and condemn those responsible for his murder.
Oliver's murder affected society. This crime killed not only Oliver Ivanov, but also political pluralism among Serbs. Kosovo will be steadfast in its commitment to being a multicultural and multiethnic society where people feel secure, can say their thoughts and treat each other with respect, even if they disagree. That way we will all keep the memory of Oliver Ivanovic.”, Kurti said in the video education for Ivanoviqi.
