One of the two border crossings with Serbia in the north of Kosovo, Brnjak, was opened on Wednesday, October 4, the deputy director of the police for the northern region, Veton (Elshani) Eljšani, confirmed for Radio Free Europe.

However, Jarinje is still closed due to the search of the terrain in that region.

"The order to open has not yet arrived for Jarinje," said Eljšani.

These two crossings have been closed since September 24, when a group of armed men attacked the Kosovo police in the village of Banjska, municipality of Zvečan.

One Kosovo policeman was killed then, while three Serb attackers were also killed in the exchange of fire.

Kosovo accused Serbia of the attack in Banjska, which was characterized as a "terrorist act".

On the other hand, official Belgrade rejected these accusations with the explanation that local Serbs from Kosovo "rebelled against Kurti's terror" (Kosovo Prime Minister Aljbin Kurti).

Meanwhile, on September 29, Milan Radoičić took responsibility for the organization and attack in Banjska. On the same day, he resigned from the position of vice-president of the Serbian List, the largest party of Kosovo Serbs, which has the support of Belgrade.

Radoičić was taken into custody by the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Serbia on October 3, and he was detained by the police for up to 48 hours.
