ZUPCE, 02 August 2022, (TON): NATO-led peacekeepers backed by helicopters oversaw the removal of roadblocks protesters had set up in Kosovo, where political tensions have flared more than two decades since a NATO campaign of airstrikes drove out Serbian forces.
Kosovo police said the removal of the barricades in the north of the country allowed two border crossings with Serbia to be reopened.
The police said in a statement “roads are now free for traffic to pass, both border crossings are open now for people and goods to cross.”
The removal of the barricades came after the Kosovo government postponed the implementation of a decision that would oblige ethnic Serbs, who are a majority in the north, to apply for documents and car license plates issued by Kosovan institutions.
