Kosovo's government on Monday began issuing extra documents to Serbian citizens crossing into its territory, as Serbs living in the north of the country who oppose the decision blockaded roads leading to two border crossings.
Fourteen years after Kosovo declared independence from Serbia, some 50,000 Serbs in the north still use licence plates and documents issued by Serbian authorities, refusing to recognise the Pristina government and its institutions.
“This decision will continue to be implemented until all the barricades are removed and the freedom of movement for people and goods is ensured," Kosovo’s Interior Minister Xhelal Svecla said. Kosovo has been recognised as an independent state by more than 100 countries but not by Serbia or Russia.
