Directions
With the talks on the future status of Kosovo well underway, questions arise about the divided city of Mitrovica. The Mitrovica challenge will be one of the toughest tests in preserving Kosovo's multi-ethnicity and territoriality.
- Will Kosovo remain in its current borders or will it be partitioned?
- Is the international community willing to unite the city of Mitrovica?
How can this best be achieved?
- What lessons can be drawn from the models of Brcko, Eastern Slavonia, and Mostar?
- Is Kosovo ready for another UN mission in Mitrovica?
