We report evolution of the active region NOAA~7321 in which radio sources associated with magnetic neutral lines (so-called Neutral Line Associated Source, NLS) were studied on the basis of data of Nobeyama Radioheliograph. We provide physical interpretation of the NLS in terms of topological magnetic reconnection model and discuss their relation to evolution of the active region. Two kinds of the NLS were observed at 17~GHz, i.e. rising and stationary sources. Their presence was associated with substantial expansion of the active region's magnetosphere and accompanied by gradual evolution of spine-like structures visible in soft X-rays before long-duration flares. We suggest that the rising 17~GHz source corresponded to a ``horizontal'' current sheet moving upward which was not bright in soft X-rays. Bright X-ray spine was a boundary of that current sheet. Formation of X-points are believed to be responsible for the presence of low-lying stationary sources arranged along the photospheric neutral line.
