KFOR removes Bernjak roadblock

28/10/2011 00:00

KFOR soldiers have undertaken a blitz operation in the first hours of
the morning, in which they removed the Serbian roadblocks at the Bernjak
border checkpoint.

Sources from the terrain declared for Kosovapress that the roadblocks, mainly made of heavy trucks, have been pushed aside by KFOR troops while some of the vehicles have been thrown in the fields.

“In this action that happened at around 04:00 were present a great number of soldiers, while KFOR is now removing the barbed wires”, the sources declared.

Serbs partially remove roadblocks

Northern Kosovo Serbs have removed some of the roadblocks in Zubin Potok, the road that leads to the Bernjak border checkpoint. But they have released only one side of the road, which KFOR can use for sending supplies to their soldiers. There’s an exception even for Serbian vehicles.

Kosovo Police and Customs agents were sent again through EULEX helicopters at their working positions, at the border checkpoints. Although the roads were partially freed, the roadblocks are still in place.

“Our duty is not over. The roadblocks will remain on place and our citizens will keep guarding them. If KFOR will misuse this opportunity, the citizens will block the roadblocks with their bodies”, declares the illegal head of Zubin Potok commune, Slavisha Ristic.

The road that leads at the other checkpoint is not freed yet. The Mitrovice Kosovo Police Spokesperson declared that the Mitrovice-Leposavic road is still blocked, while inside the Zvecan and Leposavic communes, the roads are partially free. But unless the concrete roadblock ad Small Rudare is removed, there can be no free circulation, the Spokesperson Hoti says.
