Riots Break Out in Mitrovica North...

Unfortunately, the day after the Cities in Transition Forum ended, Mitrovica experienced civil unrest on the north side of the river. North Mitrovica decided to hold unofficial municipal elections that the South refused to recognize. This resulted in riots, the closing of the main bridge, and a crackdown of NATO and police forces. The remaining Cities in Transition Team had just left the country hours before the outbreak of violence.
