Sadiku: We were not informed about bridge construction in the north, there was no dialogue between the municipalities

The Deputy Chairman of the Municipal Assembly of North Mitrovica, Skender Sadiku, stated that he and his colleagues were not informed in advance about the construction of bridges in the northern part of the city, Demokracia reports.

Sadiku emphasized that they are not opposed to the construction of bridges, but noted that their priority is larger bridges. He also criticized the lack of communication and consultation between the municipalities on this issue.

“No, we were not informed, there were no discussions. The issue of the bridges should have been resolved between the two municipalities, there was no debate, no extended dialogue,” he said.

Sadiku stated that the construction of bridges in the north was not a necessity for the municipalities of North and South Mitrovica, and added that there are other priorities. According to him, institutional efforts and energy should have been directed toward issues of greater importance to citizens.

“No, definitely not. All energy should have been directed toward universal values. New bridges do not guarantee that the main bridge, which has for years been a symbol of division, will be opened,” Sadiku stated.
