Serbs from the north of Kosovo have the most confidence in the KFOR mission, which was especially evident after the recent escalation in Banjska, writes Demostatus.
Members of KFOR are perceived by the Serbian community as professional and independent, unlike some other international factors, which are often perceived as pro-Albanian, according to the findings of the Demostat focus groups.
Some residents of municipalities in the north of Kosovo even state that KFOR is "the only factor they trust", which is explained by the loss of faith in the Government of Serbia and in Srpska List, while they never had high expectations from Pristina. The already low expectations from the Pristina authorities have completely disappeared since Aljbin Kurti came to the head of the Government again, and he refuses to form the Association of Serbian Municipalities, an obligation undertaken by the Brussels Agreement from 2013.
Part of the Serbs who live in the northern part of Kosovo believe that it is action of an armed group which ended with the murder of a Kosovo policeman and three Serbs, caused enormous damage to the Serbian community.
Meanwhile, on Wednesday morning, after almost a month of blockade, the Jarinje crossing was fully opened to traffic. writes KoSSev.
The information was confirmed for KoSSev by the deputy commander of the Kosovo Police for the North region, Veton Elšani. Previously, the Brnjak crossing was opened first at the beginning of October.
Those crossings were closed to traffic by the government in Pristina on September 24, after Kosovo Police Sergeant Afrim Bunjaku was killed in the village of Banjska.
