The peacekeeping mission led by NATO operating in Kosovo (KFOR) has stated that it is closely following the situation caused in the north.

KFOR states that it remains committed to security and is ready to adopt the necessary measures to keep Kosovo safe.

“KFOR is closely monitoring the situation in the north of Kosovo with local and international security organizations. Under its UN mandate, KFOR remains strongly committed to security, ready to adopt the necessary measures to keep Kosovo safe”, the announcement states.

On July 31, Serbs in Kosovo set up barricades on the roads leading to Jarinje and Bernjak, due to the government’s decision on Serbian license plates and documents.

The Government of Kosovo said that it will postpone the implementation of the decisions on the issuance of entry-exit documents for citizens of Serbia entering Kosovo and the one on the change of Serbian license plates, when the blockades are lifted.
