'Welcome to the Union of Serbian Municipalities'/ The north of Kosovo wakes up with slogans
The four municipalities in the north of Kosovo woke up...

"Around 50,000 people living in the Serb-majority areas of the north use license plates issued by the Serbian authorities and refuse to recognize Kosovo institutions.
The Kosovo government's decision to introduce new rules, including replacing Serbian license plates with Kosovo ones, led to the clash"
This is what the prestigious British BBC writes, in a news story dedicated to the situation in the North of Kosovo.
Kosovo's government has postponed the implementation of new rules that would force people in areas with an ethnic Serb majority to exchange their Serbian-issued car plates with Kosovo ones.
Rregullat do të hynin në fuqi në mesnatën e së hënës. Por të dielën serbët etnikë në veri bllokuan rrugët dhe njerëz të armatosur qëlluan me armë në shenjë proteste.
Zbatimi i rregullave është shtyrë për një muaj pas konsultimeve me SHBA-në dhe BE-në.
Kosova shpalli në mënyrë të njëanshme pavarësinë nga Serbia në shkurt 2008, pas vitesh të marrëdhënieve të tensionuara mes banorëve të saj serbë dhe kryesisht shqiptarë.
Ajo është njohur nga Shtetet e Bashkuara dhe vendet kryesore të Bashkimit Evropian, por Serbia, e mbështetur nga aleati i saj Rusia, refuzon ta bëjë këtë, ashtu si shumica e serbëve etnikë brenda Kosovës.
Rreth 50,000 njerëz që jetojnë në zonat me shumicë serbe të veriut përdorin targa të lëshuara nga autoritetet serbe dhe refuzojnë të njohin institucionet e Kosovës.
Vendimi i qeverisë së Kosovës për të futur rregulla të reja, duke përfshirë zëvendësimin e targave serbe me ato të Kosovës, çoi në përplasje.
NATO e përshkroi situatën si “të tensionuar” pasi qindra serbë etnikë parkuan kamionë, cisterna dhe automjete të tjera pranë dy pikave kryesore kufitare me Serbinë në shenjë proteste ndaj rregullave të reja, duke detyruar policinë të mbyllë dy vendkalimet.
Misioni i udhëhequr nga aleanca në Kosovë, KFOR, tha se ishte i përgatitur të ndërhynte “nëse rrezikohet stabiliteti”.
Pati gjithashtu raportime për të shtëna nga njerëz të armatosur, megjithëse policia e Kosovës tha se nuk kishte marrë raporte për ndonjë të lënduar.
Rritja e tensioneve çoi në konsultime me ambasadorët e SHBA dhe BE.
American Ambassador Jeffrey Hovenier said that he asked the government of Kosovo to postpone the implementation of the license plate decision for 30 days "because it seems that there was misinformation and misunderstanding about the decision".
Kosovo then agreed to postpone the new rules for 30 days.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell welcomed the announcement in a tweet and said he expects all obstacles to be lifted immediately.
Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic also said he expected tensions to "de-escalate" after the rules were pushed back.
Similar protests took place last year over proposals to change license plate rules.
Tensions between Kosovo and Serbia continue despite both sides pledging to engage in EU-sponsored dialogue in an effort to resolve long-standing issues.
