Less than a month after the closure of Serbian Post offices in North Kosovo, a new branch of Kosovo Post is being established on the main promenade in North Mitrovica. The installation of the Kosovo Post’s yellow logo is a clear sign that the facility is on the verge of opening.
On-site observations confirm that construction work is actively ongoing. The Kosovo Post sign has been erected, and efforts are now focused on refurbishing the building’s exterior. Simultaneously, a sign for the mobile operator Vala is also being installed at the same location, suggesting that both services might share the facility.
However, the exact date when this new postal branch will begin operations remains uncertain. Although the Kosovo media outlet Kallxo suggested that the branch could open today, no official confirmation has been provided.
The initial announcement of Kosovo Post’s expansion into North Kosovo was made by Kosovo’s Minister of Local Government Administration, Elbert Krasniqi, immediately after the Serbian Post facilities were shuttered.
Minister Krasniqi had stated that Kosovo Post would begin offering services in the region, but so far, the only visibly operational Kosovo Post office in North Kosovo is in the village of Banjska, located in the Zvečan municipality.
This facility, situated on the ground floor of the „Rajska Banja“ health and tourism complex, was officially opened in June 2024, more than seven months after the Kosovo Privatization Agency took control of the property.
The closure of the Serbian Post offices earlier this month affected nine facilities across North Kosovo. This included three post offices in Mitrovica, two in the Zvečan municipality, one in Zubin Potok, and three in the Leposavić municipality. These closures have left the local Serbian community with limited postal services, highlighting the ongoing tensions in the region.
