Former Mayor of Mitrovica North, Erden Atiq, a member of the Vetëvendosje Movement, published a photograph on Facebook last Friday night featuring Ratko Mladic, who recently passed away. In the post, Atiq tagged Adriana Hoxhiq, the deputy mayor of Mitrovica North, accompanying the image with the phrase, “condolences where.”
Hoxhiq publicly stated that Atiq’s post caused her significant concern and announced her intention to file a criminal lawsuit regarding the incident. She linked Atiq’s actions to his established positions concerning the victims of Srebrenica, minority groups, and women.
The incident drew immediate public attention, focusing on the nature of the shared photograph and the accompanying commentary from the former official. Critics and political commentators have interpreted the post as a statement reflecting broader political disagreements within the region. The controversy centers on the appropriateness of the former mayor, Erden Atiq, posting such imagery and addressing a current political figure, Adriana Hoxhiq, in this manner.
Hoxhiq’s reaction signals a formal challenge to the content, suggesting that the post crosses professional boundaries and violates local conduct standards. The situation remains a point of political contention, highlighting ongoing tensions regarding historical memory and political discourse in Mitrovica North.
