Prishtina, 31 July 2022
The Government of the Republic of Kosovo strongly condemns today’s blocking of roads in the north of Kosovo and the shooting by armed people of illegal structures there. It is about the tendency to destabilize Kosovo and endanger the peace and security of citizens and our country. There have been numerous aggressive acts this afternoon and evening, incited and prepared by official Belgrade.
Prime Minister Kurti together with President Osmani and Deputy Prime Ministers Bislimi and Gërvalla have developed contacts and meetings with American and European international factors. On this occasion, the Government of Kosovo pledges to postpone the implementation of the two decisions dated 29 June 2022, until 1 September 2022, from the moment on Monday, 1 August 2022, when all barricades will be removed and established complete freedom of movement on all roads in the north of Kosovo.
We thank international partners, in particular US Ambassador Jeffrey Hovenier, for their commitment and contribution.
