You’re not setting the width of the ItemTemplate, but of one of the controls contained within the item template

On top of that, the control you’re setting the width on is a LinkButton, which is effectively the same as saying:

<a href="[...]" width="50">Odstrani</a>

But depending on your font, the text “Odstrani” is probably wider than 50 pixels, so this width setting is likely to be ignored as there’s no way to break that one word under 50 pixels.
