Rasic and Kusari-Lila open DHL branch in North Mitrovica, municipal representatives absent

Minister for Communities and Returns Nenad Rasic and Minister of Trade Mimoza Kusari-Lila opened a DHL Express branch in North Mitrovica today.

Representatives of the Municipality of North Mitrovica did not attend the event.

The branch opened by Rasic and Kusari-Lila is located in the city center, near the Prince Lazar Monument.

An increased presence of Kosovo Police officers was noticeable at the site.

Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti also visited North Mitrovica on several occasions this spring, but did not invite municipal representatives to the events.

Following one such visit, the Municipality of North Mitrovica said that the aim was “to impose the will of the central institutions where they lack legitimacy,” noting that Kurti’s visit had been unannounced and had not been coordinated with local government representatives.
