He also asked the temporary Pristina institutions that the newly elected mayors 
perform their duties from alternative locations. 

During today's debate on the situation in the north of Kosovo in the British 
Parliament, Mitchell pointed out that London is also working with international 
partners to calm tensions. 

"On May 18, together with the USA, France, Germany, Italy and the EU, we 
requested that a long-term solution be found for the work of the municipalities 
in the north. We warned against the use of force or actions that could increase 
tensions, and on May 26 we expressed our concern about the forced placement of 
the mayor in municipal facilities, as well as Serbia's actions to increase the 
readiness of the military forces around the Kosovo border," said Mitchell and 
reminded that the envoy of Great Britain for the Western Balkans Stuart Peach 
visited Pristina on May 30 and met with the heads of the institutions there, 
with the commander of KFOR, as well as the British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak 
met with the president of the so-called Kosovo, Vjosa Osmani, on June 1. 

In addition, he welcomed the visits of the EU high representative for dialogue 
between Belgrade and Pristina, Miroslav Lajcak, and the US special envoy for 
the Western Balkans, Gabriel Escobar, who will be in Pristina tonight and 
tomorrow, and then in Serbia.
