Because of this blockade, KFOR soldiers closed the Zubin Potok-Zvečan road for more than three hours in the town of Doljane, near Zvečan.

Locals gathered and protested because two Eulex vehicles and three Kfor vehicles were heading towards Jarinje, and that was the second time during the day.

The Serbs claim that the international authorities do not respect the agreement that they can move through the north of Kosovo only one per 24 hours, and that at most three vehicles, accompanied by KFOR, on the condition that they do not transport Kosovo customs officers and border police.

While the road blockade lasted, the Serbs talked with the KFOR officers who again demanded unconditional freedom of movement in the entire north, which the Serbs do not agree to because they believe that EULEX is not "status neutral".

Eulex and Kfor vehicles returned to southern Kosovska Mitrovica after the blockade, the locals dispersed, and traffic returned to normal.

Serbs who follow the progress of EULEX say that the international authorities' attempts to move freely are aimed at "provoking the Serbs" and "helping the Albanians" to establish institutions in the north of Kosovo as well.
