The reason why the Serbs once again set up barricades in the village was EULEX attempt to arrest one of their compatriots.

The barricade consists of logs and heavy machines. The blocked road leads to the Brnjak administrative checkpoint in the far north of the province.

Media in Priština report that EULEX tried to arrest a man suspected of killing a member of Kosovo police special unit (ROSU) on July 25.

The Serbs could not say last night when the barricades would be removed.

Serbia’s Minister for Kosovo Goran Bogdanović will today speak to mayors of Serb municipalities in northern Kosovo, Tanjug has learned.

The minister and mayors will discuss the current situation in the north.

Kosovo Interior Minister Bajram Rexhepi has said that the Kosovo institutions will implement the law and order in the entire territory of Kosovo and that they have international community’s support to do so.
