South Mitrovica Mayor Bahtiri „keeps his promise“ and visits Gazivode Lake

After Vucic and Thaci’s separate visits, the mayor of south Mitrovica Agim Bahtiri also paid the visit to the Gazivode Lake today.

Judging by the photographs and video footage released by Kosovo journalist Fidan Jupolli from T7 television, unlike the two Presidents – who arrived with heavily armed security and a media fanfare, only the two of them (Jupolli and Bahtiri) could be seen walking and having the conversation.

The walk of Bahtiri over the Gazivode dam and bridges follows just a week after Thaci swift cruise resulting in an increase in combat readiness levels of Serbian forces and a whole day of political and media news campaigns.

While the Kosovo Mayor of North Mitrovica, Goran Rakic, said to Thaci that he „sneaked like a mouse“, which will happen again „when hell freezes over“, according to Kosovo media reports, or at least those made by the journalist Jupolli, more „challenges“ will be set to Kosovo officials to visit the Gazivode Lake.

Gazivode Lake is one of the most strategically important sites in the North of Kosovo and, at the same time, one of the most troublesome sites.

Mitrovica Mayor Agim Bahtiri was a guest of Fidan Jupolli’s „DPT“ talk-show on T7 TV on Friday, where he promised that he will go to Gazivode without a police escort.

Bahtiri kept the promise he gave to journalist Fidan Jupolli two days ago.

„The blood of thousands of Albanians has been shed here,“ Bahtiri said from Gazivode Lake.

„It’s funny … because the President was supposed to come here without the police … The police was supposed to do it earlier,“ Bahtiri said.

The videos posted by Fidan Jupolli show Jupolli and Agim Bahtiri during their visit to the North today, reported Veriu.info.

President Hashim Thaci visited Gazivode last week, accompanied by several members of the special forces unit. The Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic also visited Gazivode last month.
