KOSOVO TENSIONS People stood in front of graffiti KOSOVO TENSIONS People stood in front of graffiti depicting the late Bishop Amfilohije, left, and late Patriarch Pavle in the northern, Serb-dominated, part of the ethnically divided town of Mitrovica, on Friday.

Asked about the statue on Thursday, Mayor Bill de Blasio said he understood why Jefferson’s history as a slaveowner “profoundly bothers people, and why they find it’s something that can’t be ignored.” The statue has stood in the room where the City Council meets.
