North Mitrovica or North Kosovska Mitrovica (Albanian: Mitrovica e Veriut or Mitrovicë Veriore; Serbian: Ceвepнa Косовска Митровица/Severna Kosovska Mitrovica) is a city and municipality in Kosovo established in 2013, the settlement is part of the city of Mitrovica, divided by the Ibar river (and the river bridge). The separation came as a result of the North Kosovo crisis. It is planned be the administrative centre of the Association of Serb municipalities, which is expected to be formed in 2016.
Since most municipalities in the north boycotted the 2011 Kosovo census, the exact population is unknown. However, according to a report by the OSCE mission in Kosovo, North Mitrovica's total population is 29,460, with the following ethnic composition: 76.6% Serbs, 16.6% Albanians and 6.8% others, including Bosniaks, Roma, Gorani and Turks.
The northern part of Mitrovica (
listen ; formerly "Kosovska Mitrovica") was commonly referred to as "North(ern) Kosovska Mitrovica" (Serbian: Северна Косовска Митровица), however, as of late, the northern part is referred to as simply North Mitrovica (Albanian: Mitrovica e veriut, sr. Северна Митровица).
