The signing ceremony was also attended by the Director of the Centre for Social Work in Mitrovica South, Gani Mustafa.  

The Deputy Mayor expressed his gratitude for the donation. “This generous donation is very important to us and will facilitate the work of the Centre for Social Work,” Mujka said, adding that the municipality of Mitrovica South provides assistance to citizens and families in need, including young mothers, citizens affected by COVID-19, and domestic violence victims.
