The situation in the north of Kosovo was calm also in the night between Saturday and Sunday, but there is still the danger of violence erupting, primarily because of the blockade of roads leading to the border crossings Jarinje and Brnjak, Kosovo Force (KFOR) spokesman Hans Wichter said on Sunday.
The last meeting between KFOR Commander Erhard Buehler and Serb officials did not yield any concrete results but was rather only an exchange of opinions and information, Wichter said, adding that both the international community and the government in Belgrade had been informed about it.
Next week, talks will start at a high level and they could possibly lead to some solutions, he added.
The EU mediator in the dialogue between Pristina and Belgrade, Robert Cooper, is expected to arrive for a visit to Kosovo and Serbia on Monday.
As the international community is trying to find a solution to the crisis in northern Kosovo, the self-proclaimed head of the Kosovska Mitrovica district, Radenko Nedeljkovic, said that road blockades were being intensified and that "around 500 people are now at the barricades in Rudare."
Local Serbs are determined to stay there because of unofficial reports that KFOR might try on Sunday afternoon to break through the blockade, said Nedeljkovic.
