Councilors of four municipalities in northern Kosovo will hold a meeting in Zubin Potok on Wednesday, at which they will discuss KFOR's request that Serbs ensure the freedom of movement for their soldiers, i.e. remove the barricades.

KFOR cautioned they are determined to carry out an action of removing the barricades unless the Serbs reach a decision on their dismantling today.

At the late Tuesday meeting between mayors of Zvecan, Leposavic, Kosovska Mitrovica and Zubin Potok and municipal assembly speakers of the four northern Kosovo municipalities, the officials reached an agreement on conclusions which would be delivered to councilors for adoption on Wednesday.

Representatives of the local self-government and KFOR should today reach an agreement based on three key elements, State Secretary with the Ministry for Kosovo-Metohija Oliver Ivanovic announced on Tuesday.

An agreement should be reached to guarantee that KFOR will not transport Kosovo customs officers, allow armed units to come to north Kosovo, or assist EULEX to deploy the representatives of Kosovo institutions, he said.

As he put it, the agreement will have several phases, and it will start with good will to let through KFOR vehicles provided they do not carry customs officers and heavy machinery, as well as groups of armed people that Serbs see as enemies.

This implies a partial passing of KFOR vehicles, he added.
