The Ministry of Internal Affairs has announced that it has launched an electronic communication (SMS text-messaging) campaign with Kosovo Serbs regarding the conversion of illegal license plates to ones bearing the acronym RKS to represent the Republic of Kosovo.

The news was confirmed by the spokesperson of the Ministry of Interior, Nora Fetoshi, who said that the interest of Serbian citizens has increased in recent days for the conversion of license plates.

“Through this, we are continuing our campaign with the aim of informing each citizen about the procedures and reliefs that come out of this process, thus facilitating their access to information through SMS communication in the Serbian language. While the information campaign continues, citizens’ interest in registering cars and returning license plates to RKS has increased in recent days, and the number of motor vehicle registrations has reached 18,” Fetoshi told Klankosova.tv.

In addition, she also said that for all those interested, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has also offered a toll-free number which is 0800-46757.

In this regard, the Serbian media have also reported on this, considering it a form of pressure being exercised on Kosovo Serbs to forcefully convert their license plates.
