He told the news the technical details of the implementation of the Integrated Border Management agreement were discussed in Brussels on Nov 21.
According to Pavicevic, they discussed how many facilities would be needed, how to provide power, water and telecommunications.
Procedure was also discussed, that is how to facilitate the flow of peaople, goods and vehicles, he noted, adding that 4 to 8 facilities would be placed on either side depending on the outcome.
There are ongoing preparations to set up the buildings and everything will be done by December 10, when the implementation of the agreement should start, he said.
He called on disgruntled Serbs from northern Kosovo who had threatened to set up roadblocks again because of the agreement's implementation to wait and see how the implementation would work.
"Serbia is doing everything to facilitate their life in Kosovo, including crossing those checkpoints," he noted.
When asked if Serbs from northern Kosovo would be included in the subsequent stages of the technical negotiations, Pavicevic responded that they had refused to take part because they felt the accepted solutions were not to their benefit. However they said they wanted their own representative in the political dialogue, he added.
