This paper addresses the issue of investigating neighbourly relations in a contemporary post-conflict urban space, based on research conducted in Mitrovica,1 Kosovo, and it includes references to the outcomes of research in other post-conflict urban settings. The study focuses on the ways neighbourly relations are expressed in language, it inquires into whether there are any significant traditions which influenced the contemporary forms of these relations, what their place is within other social relations, and how they manifest in everyday life. Finally, it discusses how changing socio-political circumstances, especially within the framework of the most recent conflict, affect their existence and shape their contemporary dynamics.
