In the north of Kosovo, where the majority of ethnic Serbs live, the presence of KFOR military units has increased.

The increase in the presence of troops in this area was also confirmed by the head of NATO, Jens Stoltenberg.

In the north of Kosovo, on July 31 and August 1, tensions increased, as local Serbs erected barricades to oppose two decisions of the Government of Kosovo: the one regarding Serbian license plates and documents.

The NATO mission in Kosovo, KFOR, has repeatedly repeated that it is ready to intervene if stability in the north of Kosovo is threatened.

However, apart from KFOR and EULEX, the Kosovo Police and the Kosovo Army (FSK) are also responsible for the security situation in Kosovo.

But for their presence and activity in that part of Kosovo, there have been constant objections from the Serbian side.

The Serbian-language medium Radio "KIM" has asked KFOR if the Special Unit of the Kosovo Police and the KSF can also operate in the north.

KFOR, in their response, have reiterated that the Kosovo Police can act in any part of the country, while for the Kosovo Security Force, they say that they must interact with KFOR in that part.

"The Kosovo Police and the Kosovo Security Forces are part of the local institutions that deal with security.

The police can perform their duties in the entire territory of Kosovo, without geographical limitations.

Any movement of the Kosovo Security Force towards the northern part requires prior notification and the consent of the KFOR commander, this is in accordance with the previous agreement and NATO expects that the local institutions will continue to implement that agreement", KFOR said. i for this medium.

The Kosovo Security Force, according to a previous agreement from 2013, must be authorized by the KFOR commander before any deployment in northern Kosovo.

The Kosovo Police can move freely throughout Kosovo./
