The Vecherniye Novosti newspaper reported that explosions and shooting were heard for 15 minutes near the cities of Kosovska Mitrovica and Zubin Potok.
Earlier today, Kosovo police closed entry to the Serbian region through the Yarin checkpoint following the arrest at the checkpoint of former Serbian police officer Diana Pantik.
In response, Serbian residents blocked the road along the highway with checkpoints in several sections near the checkpoint and went to protests.
The patrols of the European Union Mission in Kosovo and the staff of the international mission under the auspices of NATO in Kosovo and Metohija withdrew to the barricades.
The Serbian Cabinet of Ministers described the arrest of Pantek as “an attempt to take revenge and intimidate the Serbian population” in the province.
