The withdrawal allowed the workers of Novi Pazar Put to continue their job on constructing an integrated crossing.

The Serbs withdrew after their local officials notified them about the decisions made at a meeting in Leposavic and called on the crowd to end the protest.

The protesters removed their vehicles and tents they used for shelter during the night.

Only the Serbian police remained near the crossing.

The traffic between Raska and Leposavic has returned to normal, whlie KFOR troops outside the crossing itself do routine checks on some vehicles.
