Since declaring independence in February 2008, Kosovo has been unable to extend its authority fully in Serb-dominated areas in and around the northern city of Mitrovica, or to stop Serbia from continuing to operate "parallel" institutional structures there.
Od kako je proglasilo nezavisnost u februaru 2008, Kosovo nije uspelo da u potpunosti sprovede svoju vlast u većinski srpskim oblastima u Mitrovici i oko nje ili da spreči Srbiju da nastavi da upravlja tamošnjim „paralelnim“ strukturama.
