KFOR, operation for removing roadblocks

04/11/2011 00:00

KFOR has started the removal of the roadblocks in the border checkpoint of Bernjak.

Kosovapress says that on 08:00 there have been sirens that signaled the gathering of Serbian citizens for stopping the KFOR soldiers from removing the roadblocks.

The media says that the situation on terrain is tensioned. The Serbian news agency, Tanjug, announced that the Serbs not only have protected the roadblocks, but they have also attacked the KFOR soldiers and have brought new loads of inert materials for blocking the roads.

The residents are tired of this daily view. Adem Mripa is one of the residents in the northern neighborhoods. He says that his family crosses the bridge everyday by passing over the roadblock, and he hopes that the international community and the locals will solve this problem as soon as possible.

“I don’t want to think if my family members will return or not, or if I will be able to cross over. We’re living under a very big stress and this has to end”, he says.

According to him, life in the northern part of the city, where there is a Serbian majority, is unsafe. Other citizens also ask this matter to end as soon as possible, in order to return to normality.

“We cannot live there anymore, because my house was burned. We’re waiting for the people of the Bosnian Neighborhood and Kroi i Vitaku to face this problem with other ways, rather than the roadblocks”, Muhamet Kosumi declared.

KFOR insists to resolve this situation through dialogue, although the other forms are not excluded.

There have been many meetings with the heads of the parallel communes, and lately, the northern part of Mitrovice was visited by the European Council Reporter for Kosovo, Bjorn Fon Sidove.
