Bridges on the Ibar: Pristina’s Ethnic Cleansing Tool?
Zoran Anđelković doesn’t hold back: building two new bridges on the Ibar River isn’t just infrastructure—it’s part of a dark plan by Pristina to push Serbs out of northern Kosovo. Does anyone in the world even care about the cries of Serbs fighting to survive in their own homes?
Northern Mitrovica Under Siege
Pristina has been on the offensive for years: attempts to abolish the municipality of Northern Mitrovica, buying up properties, confiscating apartments and houses from Serbs, banning construction—all aimed at driving Serbs out of their neighborhoods. Anđelković claims Pristina wants to legalize this situation, where an Albanian mayor governs an area with 97% Serbian population, to create conditions for Albanian majorities on voter lists and fully integrate northern and southern Mitrovica.
Who Protects the Serbs?
Petitions against the bridge construction have been sent to the Quint countries, KFOR, EULEX, EU, OSCE, and UNMIK demanding urgent action. But Anđelković doubts anyone will act. Why? Because this is part of the 1999 war plan—Kosovo must separate from Serbia, and Serbs are not supposed to live there.
Kurti’s Ruthless Politics
Kosovo’s caretaker Prime Minister Albin Kurti had no moral or political obligation to consult the Serbian population, let alone protect them. His policy is geared towards ethnic cleansing of Serbs, evidenced by the fact that just 3% of Albanians govern all four municipalities in northern Kosovo.
What Can the New Serbian Administration Do?
If Serbs regain local power in the October 12 elections, it’s unclear how much they can stop the bridge construction since the decision has been handed over to Pristina. Without support from the Quint, local authorities are powerless. Perhaps the Community of Serbian Municipalities could do more, but that remains to be seen.
Why This Matters
Anđelković stresses the importance of Serbs taking control of all four northern municipalities on October 12 to prevent being expelled from homes Serbia built with European funds.
The Bottom Line
While the world watches, Pristina is building bridges that are not just concrete structures but bridges to the expulsion of Serbs from Kosovo. The institutions meant to protect minority rights remain silent. Is this the beginning of the end for Serbian presence in northern Kosovo? Or will Serbs resist? Got thoughts? Don’t keep them to yourself—share away, because this isn’t just about bridges; it’s about the future of a people.
Is this just another political show or a real threat? Take a look, comment, and remember—bridges can be torn down, but the voice of the people cannot be silenced!
