The Barricades

The state of heightened combat readiness in the Serbian Armed Forces was abolished by the decision of the President and Commander-in-Chief Aleksandar Vui, the Presidency confirmed to Tanjug.
Combat readiness was declared on December 26 due to the situation in the north of Kosovo.

"We had a conversation that was anything but easy," he said.
"We gave people the papers, and there is nothing bad about it... We had difficult conversations, but we were very honest with each other. As I understood it, this was the conclusion of the Headquarters from the barricades. People told me that they did not want to go against their country," said Vui.

This problem is further intensified by the installation of new barricades that KFOR set up a few days ago near the monastery Visoki Decani, Gazeta Express writes.
Such an action provoked a reaction from the citizens of Decani, who said that "these barricades reflect insecurity, political pressure and obstacles to the development of normal life in this area."
