State Secretary for Kosovo-Metohija Oliver Ivanovic told that he believes that the roadblocks made by Serbs in north Kosovo will be removed after the Tuesday session of representatives of four north Kosovo
municipalities.

"I expect that the municipal presidents will think carefully about everything, present all possible options to the members of the assemblies, and make the right decision," Ivanovic said.

It is vital that the head of municipalities have harmonized their views with President Boris Tadic and top state officials, he said, adding that this is important because the people in Kosovo-Metohija have learned not to have much trust in international organizations."

It appears that they have returned from Belgrade much more satisfied than when they left," Ivanovic said.He underlined that the responsibility now lies on the municipal presidents

."The barricades were not ordered by government but by them (municipal presidents) in reaction to the arrival of the Kosovo police special unit ROSU," the state secretary recalled.He said that in the last few days the situation in north Kosovo is much more peaceful than it was on July 25 and immediately after the action of the ROSU unit, and that it seems that there is no initiative from the ethnic Albanians for another attempt of seizure of administrative crossings.

"I believe that the situation is subsiding, it is possible that there will be more sporadic incidents in the upcoming period but I do not believe that there will be any more unexpected, large and organized incidents as the one that took place two weeks ago,".
