The head of the so-called association of citizens of the Mitrovica District for Kosovo, Rasha Rojevic, has announced that the multi-day blockade of the border points towards Kosovo will begin today.

Rojevic told the Serbian news agency BETA that the blockade will be organized by local associations of citizens from Kosovo and that four of the five border crossings from the direction of central Serbia and Montenegro will be blocked.

"The blockade will start tomorrow at 18:00 and will last until the Kosova Police forces are withdrawn from the north of Kosovo. We also demand that KFOR take control of the north of Kosovo", he said.

"We will block the Bernjak, Jarinje and Merdare crossings points from the Central Serbia side, and the Kulla crossing on the Peja-Rozhaje road from the Montenegro side. The Konçul crossing will not be blocked for now. We will only allow hospital vehicles, and all other vehicles and passengers with Serbian documents. If Serbian documents are not valid in Kosovo, then Kosovo documents cannot be valid in central Serbia either", said Rojevic, adding that there should be at least 400 people in blockade at every crossing.
