Otherwise, after the developments in the north of Kosovo, the Secretary General of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg, had a telephone conversation with the President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vučić.

Through a post on Twitter, Stoltenberg said that he and Vucic talked about the recently created tensions in the north of Kosovo.

On July 31, local Serbs set up barricades in northern Kosovo to oppose two decisions of the Government of Kosovo regarding Serbian license plates and documents.

The barricades were removed on August 1, and the Government of Kosovo pledged to postpone for one month the implementation of the decision to equip citizens of Serbia with an entry-exit document upon entering the territory of Kosovo.

The release of documents is foreseen in the Agreement on freedom of movement that Kosovo and Serbia signed in 2011 as part of the dialogue.

Since then, Serbia issues such documents to citizens of Kosovo.

At the request of the American ambassador in Kosovo, the implementation of the decision regarding the re-registration of cars with license plates issued by Serbia, which Kosovo considers illegal, has been postponed.
