KFOR I am pretty sure doesn't want to use violence (yet), they can go anywhere they want to! Just so serbian people from north know it that they (KFOR) did not turn back because you didn't allow them to go through, they turned back because they didn't want to hurt you! Soon your time will be up and then will se who's talking!

Even worse, they don't realize that their own 'elected' Kosovo government is using a very similar type of action Milosevic did in the 90th, i.e. sending special forces against the will of the local population to dismantle local 'parallel structures' and establish 'law and order'. I'm almost sure Milosevic even used the same words :)
(Comm. Parrisson, 1 November 2011 13:37)

I apologize for my ignorance, but I thought that Pristina is so broke that it does not have tanks to send to N. Kosovo and do what Serbia did against Albanian students in the '80s.

The list of the incidents of the Serbian disrespect for the international community is growing. be assured notes is being kept and updated.

Don't be surprised when one day the international community will say: enough is enough there is plenty of evidence that the only language these paeans understand is the tractors headed to north.

Correct, but according to UN1244, Kosovo is under UNMIK administration. It means UNMIK/EULEX is responsible for the customs. So what right do Albanians from the south have to play custom officers at the checkpoints, from a status neutral point of view?
(Analyst, 31 October 2011 15:12)
Actually if you read 1244 you will find that it is a blueprint for establishing a full functioning selfgovernment. This is irregardless of status, it does not matter whether you wish to call Kosovo an autonomous province or an independent state. The international civilian presence is to turn its respnsibilities over to the institutions of Kosovo as they develop. No where does it make an exception for customs. 1244 also does not make a distinction of above or below the Ibar. Once a customs service is established it is the duty of UNMIK/Eulex to oversee not administer customs.
Straight from 1244:
Transferring, as these institutions are established, its administrative responsibilities while overseeing and supporting the consolidation of Kosovo's local provisional institutions and other peace-building activities;
Should you be one that feels status is final the following applies:
"In a final stage, overseeing the transfer of authority from Kosovo's provisional institutions to institutions established under a political settlement"
In either situation customs would be under the administration of the Kosovo govt with the international presence overseeing activities.

These comments amuse me, EULEX mandate is as a mentor program for the development of police and justice in Kosovo. Kind of hard to complete the mentoring mandate if you leave them at home, doesn't it.

There are plenty of functioning border crossings separating Albanians from Albanians. EULEX can mentor Albanians there. No need to go north where they are not welcome.

Serbs in N Kosova are behaving the same as their brothers in Croatia.Ignore international community and state institutions.Dont accept peace plans and humiliate international forces.Like their brothers in Croatioa who didn't accept Z4 plan,serbs in N.Kosova dont accept Ahtisari plan and continue to play cat a mouse or Hide and seek games.
And like in their brothers case the international community will get tired with them and solve the situation.In Croatioa croats used Oluja,while in Kosova they may use Oluja 2.0
And propably after Oluja 1 their brothers said they accepted Z4 plan,in this case they may say they will accept Ahtisari plan but it will be late...

"Durovic told Tanjug that the KFOR commander reiterated his request regarding freedom of movement for all representatives of international missions in Kosovo. According to previous announcements, KFOR does not want to use this possibility until freedom of movement is granted to all representatives of international mission in Kosovo, including EULEX."

Kosovo Albanians transported in EULEX vehicles are surely not 'representatives of international mission', and the 'freedom of movement' is only refused to them. And as long as EULEX is not acting status neutral and transporting those persons, no wonder that their vehicles are stopped.

Sweetheart, there is no "Albanians from the south", I think you're confused. There is Kosovo, the end --- there is no north and south like you're trying to make it be. Also no international mission needs to be "status neutral" ... find one document from EULEX or a reference in 1244 where it reads about status neutrality.

The N. K_Serbs are correct in placing these barricades. Why is EULEX an escort service for Pristina's customs officers? All the internationals involved in KiM must respect their staus-neutral mandates - stop trying to impose situations which are against the will of the people in N. Kim, and there will be no problems.
