Albanian Post teaches that KFOR intervention is expected to take place in late afternoon hours, during this Monday.
KFOR, as the AP understands, is already prepared and only green light is expected from NATO's base in Naples, Italy.
Until a general reconciliation to intervene KFOR in the north has come after NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg has talked to Kosovo Prime Minister Albin Kurti and Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic.
A de-excedentation of the situation has been reached in these conversations, with the alliance's deployment of peacekeeping troops in the north. Even the ultimatum that Vucic in an interview on Serbian television “Pink” gave Sunday evening, where he said he expects 24 hours for NATO to do something and if it doesn't intervene alliance-Atlantic, then Serbia reacts to it, was part of the scenario.
After KFOR takes over at two border points in the north, the removal of Kosovo Police Special Units and the unblocking of roads by Serb protesters will occur.
Even Kurti, at an extraordinary media conference last Saturday, stated that Serbia's military actions near the border with Kosovo are a measure of response to internationals, since it is those who are seeking a reduction of tensions and unilateral inaction, and Serbia is still doing it.
After the normalisation of the situation, the parties will return to Brussels to negotiate, but it is still unclear whether reciprocity for the license plates will continue, or the previous situation will return.
