The Serbs set barricades made of dirt and wood at the Ribarici-Zubin Potok main road near the Brnjak administrative crossing Saturday.
The barricades were set after KFOR had on Friday removed the freight trucks set as a roadblock.
Prior to setting up the barricade, Serbs pulled out from the abyss the truck that KFOR had pushed towards the Gazivode Lake while removing barricades on Friday.
German KFOR soldiers, who arrived at the Serbia-Kosovo administrative line near Brnjak in two vehicles, observed the setting up of the barricade.
Although KFOR members stress that the administrative crossing is functional and open, the traffic is diverted to an alternative road controlled by French KFOR members.
The Serbs are standing watch at all barricades set on roads in northern Kosovo, including Jagnjenica, Zupce, Kosovska Mitrovica, Leposavic and other smaller barricades.
Traffic at the second administrative crossing Jarinje is also diverted to other roads, used to get to Raska and Novi Pazar in Central Serbia from Kosovo.
Several days ago, the Serbs opened one lane on all main roads in northern Kosovo so as to enable KFOR to supply its units.
After the Serbs' decision to open one lane for the passage of KFOR, KFOR Commander Erhard Drews stated that this mission will not exercise their right to the freedom of movement until all international organizations have the possibility to do the same.
No KFOR movements were noticed last night, and a number of Serbs spent another night at the barricades in the north of the province.
