Commentary by Russian blogger Andrey Chervonets [Chernovec] Pristina decided to postpone for 30 days the introduction of new rules for the entry of Serbs into Kosovo, planned from August 1. Previously, it was decided that from today the identity cards issued by the Serbian Ministry of Internal Affairs should be considered invalid, and all cars should be re-registered to Kosovo numbers. These requirements also apply to ethnic Serbs living in the region and their relatives from central Serbia. Such measures will significantly complicate the life of the Serbian population of the region and are in fact a violation of the Brussels agreements. Yesterday, Pristina unilaterally closed the Brnjak and Yarinje border checkpoints, and also suspended the passage of cars with Serbian license plates through the Rudnica checkpoint. Kosovo security forces were pulled to the border, and the Serbian army was put on alert. The reaction of the Serbs was very sharp. Serbs in Kosovska Mitrovica built barricades on the road and prepared for clashes with the Kosovo security forces. The 30 days for which the solution of the issue has been postponed is nothing more than a tactical pause on the part of the Kosovo authorities. They saw how strong the rejection of the abolition of Serbian passports, Serbian car numbers on the part of the Serbian community is. And they will prepare. |

| #1 This issue is a catalyst. If Kosovo lets this go, next week it will be something else. The Serbs are still butthurt over not getting Kosovo. We are going to revisit this war in the next year... |
