Besides EULEX, Kosovo customs officers were also deployed at the checkpoints but with no operational role. Kosovska Mitrovica Municipal Court judge Zehra Vrbovci remanded 13 Serbian truck drivers in a 15-day custody late Friday. The drivers were arrested under suspicion they entered Kosovo illegally and took part in setting up the barricades.
