The implementation of this decision will take until the freedom of movement of people and goods is ensured, said the head of the Kosovo Interior Ministry, Jelal Shvedla.
Serbian citizens began to issue additional documents in Kosovo when crossing the territory. Serbs, who live in the north of the country and oppose Pristina’s decisions, continue to block roads leading to the two border crossings. Reuters reported this on Monday, August 1.
Documents are issued to Serbs at the largest border crossing, Merdare.
“This decision will be implemented until all barricades are removed and the freedom of movement of people and goods is ensured,” said Kosovo’s interior minister, Celal Shwedla.
It should be noted that on the morning of Monday, August 1, they continued to block the roads leading to the Brnjak and Yarinje border crossings in northern Kosovo with trucks full of gravel and heavy equipment.
Local Serbs blocked the main road at the Jarinje border crossing on Sunday. Kosovo police announced that the Jarinje and Brnjak border crossings have been closed to travelers and vehicles as a result.
So, the Serbs are protesting against the decisions of the Kosovo government on June 29 to change the travel rules and start re-registration of vehicles with numbers from the Republic of Serbia to Kosovo.
Recall that the situation in Kosovo became more complicated on Sunday, July 31, against the background of the authorities’ decision to ban the entry of cars with Serbian number plates and relevant Serbian documents from August 1.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic said Kosovo was allegedly preparing an attack on Serbs in the northern region of the partially recognized state.
After the US reaction, Kosovo decided to postpone the procedure for imposing a ban on Serbian documents until September 1. In Pristina, they stressed that they would make a concession as soon as the Serbs protesting against the innovations were dismantled the barricades.
