Night peaceful in north of Kosovo, complete withdrawal of the Rose unit expected

Several dozens of Serbs from the Leposavic municipality are at the administrative crossing, who decided to stay on the barricades the entire night, taught by the experience from Tuesday morning, when the KPS Rosu units withdrew and then again tried to take over the Brnjak administrative crossing.

Serbian Minister for Kosovo Goran Bogdanovic and Belgrade Kosovo talks team chief Borislav Stefanovic were at Jarinje this morning, waiting to meet once again with KFOR commander Erhard Buehler.

However, the two Serbian officials started their meeting with the German general in the town of Zvecan.

After more than 20 hours and the firm reaction of Belgrade and the international community, the agreement on the withdrawal of the Kosovo special units to Pristina was confirmed, says Tanjug.

Stefanovic told the journalists on Tuesday that it had been agreed with Buehler that all roads in northern Kosovo should be unblocked and made free for traffic, and that members of the Kosovo police of Serb nationality should be deployed at the administrative checkpoints by Wednesday morning at the latest.

The Kosovo police unit took over the Brnjak administrative checkpoint late on Monday, withdrew on Tuesday morning, and a few hours later made another attempt to take over the crossing.

In the night between Monday and Tuesday, Serbs from Leposavic prevented the attempts of Kosovo special units to take over Jarinje administrative crossing, by setting up blockages throughout the town.

But members of the unit were flown in to the nearby KFOR base by helicopter, where they remain at this point although they were to return to Pristina by 08:00 CET.

This was confirmed for Beta by Kosovska Mitrovica District head Radenko Nedeljkovic.
