The head of the Kosovska Mitrovica Provisional Authority, Aleksandar Spiric stressed that citizens must respect the protection measures, which also includes avoiding unnecessary travel between the two municipalities.
The Kosovska Mitrovica and Zvecan emergency teams decided to suspend travel between the two municipalities this morning.
North Mitrovica and Zvecan municipalities were placed in quarantine on Friday, as per the decision by the Serbian-sponsored emergency teams of the two municipalities. This measure, however, was imposed with Pristina’s „full coordination“ with local governments in the north, as several government officials confirmed in Pristina yesterday, including Kosovo Health Minister, Arben Vitiu.
