Summary/Abstract: The town and region of Mitrovica, which is split up by the river Ibar into a mostly Serbian inhabited part in the north and an almost thoroughly Albanian part on the southern banks of the river, is considered a highly dangerous place where the dire consequences of the Kosovo conflict, the uncertainty and the opposing ideas concerning the future status of Kosovo are almost regularly leading to violent clashes – the last one from March 2004 is still remembered, as it spread from Mitrovica all over Kosovo. Mitrovica is an interesting case study because there, the problems Kosovo and the international missions are confronted with on the eve of status talks appear highlighted on a smaller scale but in a most immediate, i.e. aggressive fashion.
