Kosovo Force

Police crackdown on smuggled goods has provoked clashes in northern Serbia, which is populated mainly by Serbs.

The police used tear gas against demonstrators who were angry at the action directed to District in Northern Mitrovica and burned police officers in Zverchan.

For vehicles, a regime with stickers has been established to cover specific parts of license plates.
The convoy of vehicles from the direction from Raska to Leposvic is about two and a half kilometers long, Tanjug reporter on the spot informs.
KFOR soldiers have been deployed in the north of Kosovo and Metohija, and they will stay there for the next two weeks.

Serbia and Kosovo have reached an agreement to ease the situation on their border, an EU official confirmed on Thursday.

"We have a deal!," Miroslav Lajčák, EU Special Representative for the Belgrade-Pristina Dialogue and other Western Balkan regional issues, announced on Twitter.

He pointed out that we have reached a compromise solution to the crisis in the north of Kosovo and Metohija, and that the ROSU units will leave by 4 pm on October 2.

As he points out, Kurti accepted Serbia as a shareholder in Kosovo because he discusses, as he says, internal issues with Serbia, and he also accepted the legitimacy of UN Security Council Resolution 1244.

The roads Leposavi - Raka and Ribarii - Zubin potok were blocked for traffic on the tenth day, and the situation at the crossings is calm. The mayors of the Serb municipalities in the north of Kosovo and Metohija rejected the proposal of the KFOR commander that the units of the special Kosovo police be replaced by KFOR soldiers, and that the decision on temporary registrations remain.

There are no indications of an imminent solution on the ground. Members of the special unit of the Kosovo Police are not withdrawing. Due to their presence, Serbs are not withdrawing either.

Speaking about the tension at the administrative crossings of Jarinje and Brnjak, Dacic said that the real question is whether the European Union thinks that the Brussels Agreement from 2013 is in effect or not. He adds that all this seems to him like a test of Pristina to see how everyone will react to the "brutal violation of all the arrangements of the Brussels Agreement."

Aleksandar Vui stated today that it is known that Pritina works contrary to Resolution 1244, i.e. international law, and that is why Serbia opposes it.

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."
