Near the Zvecan municipality building and the house of culture in northern Kosovo, an array of street art, graffiti, and murals featuring musicians decorates the route to the childhood home of tennis star Novak Djokovic. "Djokovic was born and grew up here," recounts a local, though his family has since relocated to Belgrade following his ascent to fame. Djokovic's remarks often depict Serbia as a victim in the Kosovo conflict, clashing with the historical narrative of Slobodan Milosevic's regime. On April 21, 2024, northern Kosovo conducted elections aiming to remove four ethnic Albanian mayors, with success contingent on over 50% voter turnout, an effort hindered by a Serb boycott. By 3 PM, votes in Leposaviq, Zubin Potok, and Northern Mitrovica exceeded 200, while Zvecan recorded none. (VX Photo/ Vudi Xhymshiti)
