Move of the Article to Serbia-Kosovo Train Incident

Good Day,

I assume that a change of the Articles name to "Serbia-Kosovo Train Incident"

would be better due to:

- The incident was between the two states of Serbia and Kosovo. By writing the cities names, it makes it look like there arent two states.

- Mitrovica is the name of the cities article and as such, "Kosovska Mitrovica" is the wrong name to start with.

- The incidents lead to political Reactions from the two states.

Any thoughts against the Move? Or maybe a possible other solution? Please part share your thoughts.

Best Regards,

I am not Serbian nor Kosovar/Albanian (nor American nor Russian) so I have no personal position on Kosovo's statehood, but you know much better than I do that Kosovo is trying to gain full international recognition as a sovereign State, and that Serbia, Russia, China, India, Greece, Spain and most countries in Latin America, Asia and Africa still consider Kosovo a part of Serbia, while Albania, the USA, France, Germany and most countries in Western Europe consider Kosovo and Serbia two distinct countries, and Wikipedia tries (as it has to) to be neutral about it and use language that suits both parts. So your suggestion for changing this article from the name of the two cities to "Kosovo-Serbia" would obviously be controversial and not reach a consensus in this moment. It doesn't even matter if I agree with you, it's not the two of us who will change the minds of about half of the international community and Wikipedia's policy on the issue. But if the city name is Mitrovica, we can change it to Serbia-Mitrovica, yes. Dan Palraz (talk) 06:38, 20 July 2021 (UTC)

"Belgrade-Mitrovica" seems to be the one we can agree on.
