At a meeting with the head of the Kosovska Mitrovica district, which was attended by municipal leaders and commanders of police stations Kosovska Mitrovica, Zvecan, Leposavic and Zubin Potok, it was assessed that the Albanians do not want the peace which, as outlined, is testified to by yesterday's events in Brdjani, when they commenced reconstruction of houses in the territory of the municipality Zvecan without permits.

According to Head of the District Radenko Nedeljkovic, Albanians' needs are met by representatives of the UNMIK administration in northern Kosovska Mitrovica, who filed 16 applications of the Albanians for reconstruction of houses in Zvecan, yet they do not allow the Serbs to do the same.
