2025年选举后,塞族市长在塞尔维亚的支持下在科索沃北部四个城镇就职,缓解了为期两年的危机。 Ethnic Serb mayors, backed by Serbia, took office in four northern Kosovo towns after a 2025 election, easing a two-year crisis.

塞尔维亚总统阿列克山德·武奇奇支持的塞尔维亚斯拉夫人党的塞尔维亚裔市长在2025年10月的地方选举后, 在科索沃北部的四个市镇 - - 米特罗维察,祖宾波托克,莱波萨维奇和泽维坎 - - 宣誓就职. Ethnic Serb mayors from the Srpska Lista party, backed by Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, were sworn in Friday in four northern Kosovo municipalities—Mitrovica, Zubin Potok, Leposavic, and Zvecan—following October 2025 local elections. 他们的设立标志着在经历了因2023年塞族抵制选举和与北约维和部队冲突（造成二十多名士兵受伤）引发的两年治理危机后，向稳定迈出了一步。 Their installation marks a step toward stability after a two-year governance crisis triggered by a 2023 Serb boycott of elections and clashes with NATO peacekeepers that injured over two dozen troops. 虽然暴力已经平息,但由于科索沃未能执行由欧盟调解的塞族市镇协会的规定,紧张局势依然存在。 Though violence has subsided, tensions persist over Kosovo’s failure to implement an EU-brokered provision for an association of Serb municipalities. 科索沃于2008年宣布独立,但未得到塞尔维亚的承认,仍然是1990年代冲突引发的区域紧张局势的热点。 Kosovo, declared independent in 2008 but not recognized by Serbia, remains a flashpoint in regional tensions stemming from the 1990s conflicts. 新市长说,他们的目标是为自己的社区服务,摆脱分歧。 The new mayors say they aim to serve their communities and move past divisions.
