Serbs protesting the arrest of former police officer Dejan Pantić are still at the barricades.

The Kosovo police prohibited the passage of both vehicles and pedestrians at the Jarinje and Brnjak administrative crossings. Members of Rosu, fully armed and with armored vehicles, stormed the building of the large dam on Lake Gazivode. They chased the worker they found out of the facility and tore and cut the Serbian flags that are there.

Shortly after 21:XNUMX p.m. last night, bursts of fire and detonation were heard in Rudar near Zvečani. It is not known who shot.

The President of Serbia, Aleksandar Vucic, said that the key question for Pristina and "those who help it" is which of the five signed agreements they will respect.

He emphasized that the day before the arrest of former policeman Dejan Pantić, Kurti stated that the requests to form the ZSO were childish, reports N1.

He emphasized that the key issue is related to the signed documents:

"I will present five important documents in front of them, say which ones you want us to respect, here is the buffet - choose whether you want to respect the Kumanovo Agreement, the UN Charter, Resolution 1244, the Brussels or Washington Agreement. Tell us what you want to respect, none of the five are respected neither Pristina nor those who help them, not a single one," said Vučić.

He did not want to comment on the statement of the EU's special representative for foreign policy and security, Jozep Borelj, who called on Belgrade and Pristina to de-escalate the situation in the north of Kosovo.

Earlier this morning, the Minister of Defense of Serbia, Miloš Vučević, also spoke, who stated that he hoped that there would be "enough intelligence and determination" in KFOR and EULEX not to allow the violent removal of the barricades in Kosovo and Metohija, because, as he emphasized, that would was a path he wasn't sure where it would lead.

"We are ready (for Serbia to send a request to KFOR for the return of security forces to Kosovo) and the government will decide on it during Sunday. We did not think of it (sending the request) out of desperation, but following the legal forms from Resolution 1244, because obviously not there are sufficient security capacities," the minister told TV Pink.

He added that Serbia will try to do everything it can to preserve peace and that it will look for a political agreement, but that it requires the will of both sides, namely Belgrade and Pristina.

Asked how he understood German Foreign Minister Analene Berbock's statement that the return of the Serbian Army to Kosovo was unacceptable, Vucevic said that he "didn't know" that Berbock had assumed the role of KFOR.

"We did not know that she (Berbok) replaced the Security Council and KFOR, she gave herself the right to prejudge the decision of those who should do it," he said.
