Kosovska Mitrovica District Head Radenko Nedeljković and mayors of four northern Kosovo Serb towns and local councilors held a meeting on Sunday.
The Serb representatives announced that northern Kosovo municipal assemblies would make a decision on a referendum, so the citizens could say whether they accept the Kosovo Albanian institutions in northern Kosovo or not.
They also announced that the referendum would probably be held on February 15, the day when Serbia celebrates its Statehood Day.
“The regulation has incurred a great damage to Serbs living in Kosovo and Metohija and we do not agree with it,” Kosovska Mitrovica Mayor Krstimir Pantić said after the meeting.
He added that there was no legal basis to abolish the regulation.
“It is our obligation to say that it (regulation) is unfavorable for us and that we do not agree with it,” Pantić explained and stressed that the barricades would remain in northern Kosovo but that the Serbs would not get into conflicts with KFOR and EULEX.
“If the barricades are removed by force, Serbs will set up new ones and that way show they do not agree with Priština’s unilateral moves and KFOR’s violent actions,” the Kosovska Mitrovica mayor pointed out.
