Two passenger buses returned from the administrative crossing of Jarinje to central Serbia, because the Kosovo police did not allow them to cross after several hours of waiting, reported Radio-television of Serbia (RTS).

Kosovo police did not allow two Serbian buses with more than 80 people to pass Jarinje.

In the first bus, there was a group of believers who went to worship and visit the Serbian holy places in Kosovo, while in the second there were alpinists who went to Šar Mountain.

One of the passengers, Aleksandar Nićević from Trebinje, told the Beta agency earlier that he had been waiting for six hours at the administrative crossing, and he still did not know the reason why he was prevented from entering Kosovo.

"Bruka. Pilgrims went on a tour of the shrines, I headed from Trebinje. We've been waiting for six hours. Like, they sent an email to Pristina and were waiting for a response. But it's Saturday and they're not doing anything," he said.

He stated that travelers briefly blocked the administrative crossing of Jarinje, but that they gave up in order not to cause problems, because it was necessary to announce the blockade earlier.

Director of the Office for Kosovo and Metohija of the Government of Serbia, Petar Petković, told TV Pink that in one bus there is a group of believers who are on a tour of the holy places, and in the other there are alpinists who have gone to Šar mountain.

He assessed that the entry ban is contrary to the Agreement on Freedom of Movement.
