From Monday, according to the agreement, the putting of stick cards on the license plates of both sides will be implemented until the finding of a final solution, for which a working group will start working on October 21st.

The agreement is expected to end the situation in northern Kosovo, where groups of Serbian citizens still today on the twelfth day are keeping the roads leading to border crossings with Serbia, Jarinje and Brnjak, in protest of the Kosovo government's decision on car plates.
