PRIŠTINA -- The Self-Determination Movement will not completely block roads at the Merdare and Bela Zemlja crossings on Saturday, January 14.

However, its activists will block one lane at each crossing in order to stop trucks with Serbian goods from entering Kosovo and the police will not prevent them from doing this, the Kosovo police said in a release late Thursday.
According to the release, the Kosovo police and the Self-Determination Movement came to an agreement that the police will not prevent activists from coming to Merdare and Bela Zemlja, while the activists will not block roads, but will shut down only one lane used for trucks with Serbian goods.

The Self-Determination Movement representatives said their activities aimed at the implementation of the Kosovo parliament's decision on economic and trade reciprocity will not stop after one day, but that activists will stay day and night at the Merdare and Bela Zemlja crossings.

The movement's leader, Albin Kurti, said he would be at the Merdare crossing on January 14 as well.

He said activists would block only the road used to bring in Serbian goods but that they would not impede free movement of citizens, and noted they would stay put until they achieved their objective.
