On January 24, an estimated 10,000 protesters took the street of Prishtinë/Priština, in one of the largest demonstrations organized in Kosovo in recent times, demanding that Prime Minister Isa Mustafa dismisses Minister Aleksandar Jablanović over his controversial statements and that the Government of Kosovo take over the ownership over Trepça, Kosovo’s large and economically central mining complex. The protests were called by Vetëvendosje and the NGO “Thirrjet e Nënave” (Mothers’ Calls).
