	Mitrovica
		But the story of Mitrovica is not only one of partition, with the river Ibar dividing the town into a predominantly Serb North and a nearly exclusively Albanian South.
		Mitrovica was once Kosovo's most "Yugoslav" city, with Albanians and Serbs working side by side for decades in the Trepca mining and metallurgy giant, one of the biggest companies of socialist Yugoslavia.
		Mitrovica is a dying town, where one of the most radical industrial collapses of Eastern Europe forms the background to the more visible story of ethnic partition.

	No Stable Kosovo Without a Solution for Mitrovica by Yll Bajraktari and Christina Parajon: USIPeace Briefing: U.S. ...
		A similar effort at Mitrovica would require a vigorous UN or EU mission operating on the basis of a clear agreement by both Serbs and Albanians that northern Kosovo would be reoriented toward the Pristina authorities and governing ties to Belgrade cut.
		Knaus took a different approach, arguing that at Mitrovica we have already had "a series of international officials with vast individual experience and all of them were equipped with a strong mandate." The problem is in translating mandates into results.
		Cooperation between two future municipalities of north and south Mitrovica should be driven by concrete common interests (from infrastructure to pollution) and - in the short term - by the requirements donors put on how to disburse future funding in the city.

	NSERC - Jerry Mitrovica (Site not responding. Last check: )
		In the late 1980s, when Mitrovica began his research career, geophysicists were increasingly adapting an Earth systems approach to their subject as a result of one of the last century's greatest scientific insights: plate tectonics.
		Re-applying a 19th century idea, Dr. Mitrovica and his colleagues showed that each ice sheet has a distinct 'sea level fingerprint.' In general sea levels rise in the opposite hemisphere to the melting ice due to the reduction in the gravitational pull of the ice mass.
		Mitrovica is continuing his research into the Earth's subtle interconnections and, with California Institute of Technology's Dr. Jeroen Tromp, U of T post-doctoral fellow Dr. Konstantin Latychev and others, he is developing a computerized 3-D numerical model of an ice age Earth.

	NATO troops clash with Kosovan Serbs and Albanian protesters in Mitrovica
		Mitrovica is one of the few remaining towns in Kosovo with a substantial Serb population.
		Given the highly volatile situation in Mitrovica, serious questions are raised as to why, after apparently agreeing earlier that only a handful of ethnic Albanian protestors would be allowed into the town to present their demands to NATO authorities, KFOR permitted the protest march to reach the heavily-fortified bridge and threaten Serb inhabitants.
		Mitrovica is home to what some analysts consider one of Europe's most valuable mining complexes, the Trepca lead and zinc mines, which are also reported to contain deposits of gold and silver ore.

		The future of Mitrovica, the largest town in northern Kosovo, has threatened to dog the status negotiations from the start, given the strong opposition to independence for Kosovo voiced by a large Serbian community that has entrenched itself on the north side of the town, on the north bank of the river Ibar.
		Mitrovica is more stable nowadays, but freedom of movement for both communities remains limited in the town.
		Another Albanian from Mitrovica who did not want to be named said the future of the town depended on the success or failure of the government's overall decentralisation plans.
