#1 Albanians mix well with Muslims and Christians. Inter marriage of faiths are common. Why Pristina would block basic human needs from Serbia is my question. They say Serbs look the other way. What does that mean. Kosovo is a landlocked country. The UN is a buffer at the border with Serbia. What are they trying to accomplish cutting off basic needs of these people.

#2 Perhaps trying to prove that Northern Kosovo is more directly connected and dependent on Serbia than on the rest of Kosovo? Come on Kosovo, step and take care of your Northern Provinces....

#3 What are they trying to accomplish cutting off basic needs of these people.

From the article:

"[T]he mainly ethnic Albanian government in Pristina decided earlier this month to implement a new ban on imports from Serbia, as they suspected ethnic Serb officers of turning a blind eye. NATO peacekeepers subsequently took control of the border crossings, which have been effectively closed since Thursday."

From other reports, "imports' is an euphenism for smuggling.
