KFOR has welcomed the decision to remove the barricades in the north of Kosovo after 20 days that had blocked traffic on several main roads.

In a press release, it is stated that the removal of the barricades must be done quickly and safely so that there are no incidents or risks. KFOR says it will intervene if necessary.

“All parties should avoid any rhetoric or actions that can cause further escalation. KFOR is closely monitoring developments. We remain extremely vigilant and ready to intervene, if necessary, in line with our mandate based on the UNSCR 1244 of 1999,” the statement said.
