Head of the International Civilian Office in Kosovo Pieter Feith has said there will be no discussions about the crisis in northern Kosovo, adding there is no basis for special talks between Serbia and represntatives of the EU and U.S..

It is very important to properly implement the agreements resulting from the dialogue, he stated. There is an agreement on customs stamps and trade now has to start, so there would be no need for a trade boycott or reciprocal measures, Feith told the Kosova Sot daily, calling for free trade and freedom of movement as part of regional cooperation and adding that it was important for EU integration.

He supports the view that the situation at northern Kosovo checkpoints cannot revert to the state from before July 25. It is important for both Kosovo and central Serbia to bring the procedures at the administrative line to normal, just like at the borders between the countries of the EU, he noted.

That means the revenue collected at the border should go to the central treasury as one of the main forms of income for the government, he remarked. The situation in northern Kosovo is complex, changes quickly and could become very unstable, Feith commented.

He thinks things could get worse because there is a point when criminals begin to realize the end is near and things cannot return to the way they were, when they were able to run their business. Feith also added that KFOR was responsible for removing roadblocks in northern Kosovo.
