Serbian voters in the northern Kosovo city of Mitrovica head to the polls amid ongoing regional tensions and ethnic divisions. After a turbulent 2023 marked by the election of ethnic Albanian mayors in Serb-majority municipalities, many Serbs are hopeful for a return of Serbian administration and greater autonomy.  In this video, hear from voters expressing their determination to stay in their ancestral lands and resist displacement. With Kosovo’s political landscape fraught with challenges—such as bans on the Serbian dinar and police takeovers of municipal buildings—this election is seen as crucial for the future of the Serb community.  #Kosovo #Mitrovica #Serbia #SerbsVote #EthnicTensions #Balkans #SerbianPolitics #KosovoElections #RegionalConflict #PeaceInKosovo
