Kosovo Independence Day is an ordinary day for northern Serbs.
Most of them have told KosovaPress that they are not aware and do not care about this day, while others, although they know, do not celebrate.
Dusan Milosavljevic, a citizen from northern Mitrovica, said that he celebrated the anniversary of Serbian statehood two days ago.

According to him, Serbian statehood has been destroyed in Kosovo, so in the future the possibility that the Serbs here will also celebrate Kosovo's independence cannot be ruled out.

“I don't really know, I'm hearing this now, I don't celebrate… The day of Serbian statehood, yes… It's going in this direction (for Serbs here to one day celebrate Kosovo's independence). Taken as a whole, Serbian statehood here has been destroyed, so surely (Serbs will celebrate it one day too)”, said Milosavljevic.

Cvetko Bozinovic, another citizen from northern Mitrovica, stressed that today is like any other day for him and he doesn't care at all whether it's a holiday or not. He added that Serbs will never celebrate such a holiday.

In this municipality, apart from the solemn session held in honor of Independence Day, there were no other activities, while in the streets of the city, apart from the Serbian flags, there were no Kosovo state flags to give at least a symbolic meaning to this holiday.
