The Orthodox Church of St. Demetrius located on a hill above North(ern) Kosovska Mitrovica, in Kosovo.
The town served as the de facto capital
of the North Kosovo region which refused to work with the institutions
of the Republic of Kosovo. Therefore, local Serbs formed the Assembly of
Community of Municipalities, supported only by Serbia. However, with
the signing of the 2013 Brussels Agreement between the governments of
Kosovo and Serbia, Serbia officially dropped its support for the
assembly, agreeing to create a new Community of Serb municipalities, an
association of municipalities with Serb majorities in Kosovo. Its
assembly will have no legislative authority and the judicial authorities
will be integrated and operate within the Kosovo legal framework.
