The situation in Northern Kosovo continues to be tense, although without
incidents. Meanwhile, KFOR removed the barbed wires in the border
checkpoint in Bernjak, but due to the barriers, the traffic remains blocked.
EULEX Police has arrested two Serbs for opening fire against a Kosovo Police agent.
The news was confirmed by their lawyer, Dejan Vasic. “Telegraf” quotes that the court has given an arrest measure.
While the roadblocks will remain for some other days, according to Koha Ditore, it is expected another possible action from EULEX and KFOR after being consulted with President Jahjaga and Prime Minister Thaci.
KFOR and EULEX do not see the roadblocks matter only as an action that belongs to the security institutions. The two international mechanisms expect the representatives of Kosovo and Serbia to consult Brussels for the way the citizens’ circulation will be enabled in this problematic part of Kosovo.
Serbia’s parallel structures in Northern Kosovo have blocked the roads in the areas dominated by Kosovo Serbs through barriers and concrete walls, as response to the mission that EULEX and KFOR undertook in cooperation with Kosovo institutions for controling the border checkpoints in Jarinje and Bernjak.
The KFOR spokesperson, Ralph Adametz declared that the NATO peacekeeping mission has not given any ultimatum for removing the roadblocks.
