Negotiations with KFOR come to halt

The negotiations have come to a halt because KFOR insists that only trucks carrying humanitarian aid can go through Jarinje and Brnjak administrative crossings.

At a meeting that Serbian Minister for Kosovo Goran Bogdanovic and Belgrade team head Borislav Stefanovic had last night with KFOR Commander Erhard Buhler, KFOR proposed changes to the initial draft agreement, which was harmonized on Wednesday. The changes concern trucks passing through the two administrative checkpoints.

According to the draft agreement, cars, buses and 3.5-ton trucks are allowed through the checkpoints. KFOR has requested that only trucks carrying humanitarian aid be let through Jarinje and Brnjak administrative crossings.

Earlier this morning, Zvecan Municipal President Dragisa Milovic told that no agreement had been reached on Thursday evening and that the talks would continue on Friday.

"Borko Stefanovic was really optimistic, but there was no agreement," he said.

The negotiations will continue today and barricades will remain in place until the final solution is found.
