The column of banned vehicles has passed the kiloometry at the Jarinje border point, while Kosovo police are not allowing any cars leaving Serbia towards Kosovo to pass to the border points without being equipped with temporary license plates of the Republic of Kosovo.
The decision on this is signed today by Kosovo Interior Minister Jelal Svecla.
Meanwhile, part of cars entering from Serbia to Kosovo at the border points are being placed on temporary billboards.
Today's morning, the Kosovo Police Specialised Units have been deployed at the Kosovo border point in Jarinje. Dozens of Kosovo Police have gone there to ensure the implementation of the government's latest decision.
