Serbs in Leposavic and Zupce, near Zubin Potok, on Aug. 10 removed their roadblocks, but the barricades in Rudare, in the municipality of Zvecan, remain until further notice.

Radenko Nedeljkovic, head of the Kosovska Mitrovica County, said the Serbs would not jeopardize their safety by dismantling the roadblocks in Leposavic and Zupce, and that this constitutes the fulfillment of a deal between the Serbian government and KFOR.

However, Kosovska Mitrovica Mayor Krstimir Pantic said Serbs would remain at the Rudare barricades until their demands are met and the situation at the Brnjak and Jarinje administrative crossings is returned to that of before July 25, when Pristina decided to assume control over the crossings.

According to an agreement between Serbian representative Borislav Stefanovic and KFOR commander Erhard Buehler, the vehicles of the international mission are allowed passage throughout northern Kosovo.

The representatives of four northern Kosovo municipalities decided to consider the deal between the government of Serbia and KFOR at separate sessions of the municipal assemblies in Kosovska Mitrovica, Leposavic, Zubin Potok and Zvecan.
