The removal of part of the barricades erected by the Kosovo Serbs in Northern Kosovo in protest against the decision of the government in Pristina to issue an entry and exit document to citizens with identity cards issued by Serbia and to re-register cars with registration plates has begun plates issued by Belgrade, Tanyug reported, quoted by BTA.

However, the border points with Serbia Jarine and Brnjak are still closed to crossing, as the roads to them are still blocked, notes the Serbian section of Radio Free Europe.

Kosovo Serbs blocked the roads to the Yarine and Brnjak border crossings yesterday, as they did not agree with the decision of the Kosovo government, which planned to start issuing a temporary entry-exit document to replace the identity cards issued by Belgrade when entering the country from today.

At the same time, it was planned to start changing the license plates issued in Serbia for the cars that are driven in Kosovo.

The measures, which are reciprocal, mostly affect Kosovo Serbs, who live mostly in northern Kosovo.

Tension and blockades on the border between Serbia and Kosovo, air raid sirens are heard

The Kosovo authorities decided to postpone the implementation of the decisions by one month after a meeting of the Kosovo summit with American and European partners, and the US requested that the decision of the Kosovo government be postponed by 30 days.

Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti told a press conference today that border crossings will be opened when all barricades are removed.

Kurti pointed out that on Sunday night there was shooting in the direction of the Kosovo police and nine barricades with armed men stopping the citizens.

Fourteen years after Kosovo declared independence from Serbia, some 50,000 Serbs living in the north of the country use license plates and documents issued by Serbian authorities, refusing to recognize institutions in the capital, Pristina.

Kosovo is recognized as an independent state by more than 100 countries, but not by Serbia and Russia, Reuters noted.
