but ethnic albanians make up 92 percent of the 1800000 people who live there around 6 percent an ethnic sub. and they say they've been marginalized subs, began blocking border crossings on saturday of the arrest of a former policeman. he was one of the $600.00 officers who resigned last month in protest against cost those plans to ban serbian license plates. cbs president, alexander bridget, blames cost of a for provoking the situation. we sold on a sunday to was want to list that austin, we want to want to train them. today at the meeting, we discuss what we have to do. what is important is that we appeal to albanians and to serbs will to preserve peace to calm the situation. i appeal to serbs in northern kosovo and moto, here to be calm and not to fall for provocation, follows me. our correspondent organs are its reports. from belgrade serbs from cost of north are still blocking main roads in the region using trucks, buses,

and heavy machinery. in the same time, cost of police is keeping close. the 2 main border crossings between course of a north and serbia engines are very high, and the schools, the north and possible today are closed. here in belgrade, serbia and national security council held a crisis session, but the president of serbia, alexander voltage, declined to elaborate on the adopted steps. he said is fed serbia, demands the release of all serbs, arrested bike or civil police service block? the main road on saturday after the rest of the former's 3rd policemen. cost of the police later came on their small arms firing several locations. and the stone grenade was thrown at a car of the your mission in gustavo. but there were no injuries reported voltage claims. the serbia seeks to the fuse. tangents and underlines the coast of serbs must not engage in while is against nato troops and members of the european union

mission their united states and nato. as far as trains of both parties and demanded the removal of barricades so that the belgrade in pristina can continue further work on a solution for the normalization of relations of serbia and his former province. the dependence in 2008 organ is origin belgrade for inside story are castillo's prime minister alan kersey accuser, serbia of trying to destabilize the region. he's asked nato to stepan. mccarthy. boom. phoebe ammonia we call once again on the nato, a peacekeeping mission and kosovo, to guarantee freedom of movement. the peacekeeping mission in kosovo is supposed to create a calm and safe environment, which also means to have freedom of movement. the blocking of public roads with heavy machinery by criminal gangs that shows and police officers is not exhibited will and should not be repeated again in the future. we are waiting no exit or

kosovo, declared independence from serbia in 2008, 10 years after a war killed at least, 13000 people. the u. f and major e u countries recognize customers break away, but serbia refuses to do so. cost of a membership of the u. n. is blocked by serbia's ally, russia. around 4000 nato. peacekeepers remain on the ground and the alliance intervene to end the conflict. in 1999 they you began sponsoring talks between the 2 sides in 2013 barts. they've made little progress. resolving the conflict is one of the main conditions for both countries to join the block. ah, well let's bring in our guests to day. and joining us from christina is jamal raj are chairman of the board of association of journalists, of kosovo in belgrade. we have dark ho, try front of edge, director of the institute for national and international security. and in new york,

david l. phillips, director of the program on peace building and rights at columbia university of i warm welcome to all of you. a to my let's start with what's been happening in northern cost of owes a lot of tension that's being building up was the situation at the moment. thank you for having me, laura. as we speak, the 3rd day of the search have barricaded that road would lead to to cross borders between cross border between postal service and they have set up down. some mandate is date off at schools. so hundreds of local services have overnight dance as well. in order to protect the arrest, police officer who coastal government says it's responsible for an attack of happened during the weekend at the offices of a local election committee, which was daily. and everything for me to talk to tom better was actually in the

order in the north coast. we were due process of search. the situation is about can we call, but had to subscribe to the park to miss ramble. when we had spoken to the north to day going, i'm not going to was visiting the, the sides of the better, given that the be local supply rather to stay there. as long as it takes until this subset is released is one of our unknown because of the blocking of the roles. she wasn't able to be brought to a police station in rita by close of the lease. so he's being, however, for 14 hours now, somewhere at the border. ok, i don't recall the course of a prime minister it's, i'm pretty fed up with the situation. i was saying that the once they tow peacekeeping, they can lead peacekeeping forces to remove the barricade subs have set out. but

how is that, like you to further exacerbate the situation? well, i didn't could that did feel just to increase the l. a level of who islands or to let's come back to the origin of the, of the problem 8. so basically diesel bristle a piece of horn and the diffuser of her. i'll thought it is interesting or to implement a sweet schooler, a society of the serbian municipality. so that is the corner of the, of the problem and i hope would that be, we had a more diplomacy in the future. and you can see now the consequence of the luck of international community, particularly european union negotiators to bring 2 sites from the table. and to clearly said to clearly stated who actually it did not feel full, bristle a piece of court, and then didn't have much more clear situation. obviously, every once living in a balcony, her needs are feast. we need prosperity, we need the integration scenario and everything. and the most that difficult

efficient arise when we don't know each other is kind of the connections between belgrade and christian academics, i, scientific and many other connections that are breaking up and we hope in the future that we can have a better situation there. okay. are you brought doubtless the discussion quite significantly there, but before we do get to those bigger, broad brush issues, darker, what is the situation exactly right now? why a serves ethnic serbs in northern cost of i so unhappy because her christine or did not implement fully bristol piece of code and christian or did not to organize and allow the society of serbian municipality and the, the sanger international a contract. but they said this is a not allowed by christie too soon. of course, a lot. and this is a very good, problematic because international obligations is about any national. so over you see there is a but

a so far from the syrian site that is exactly what i learned from our, our serbian tells you in the northern, not in cost of that there is no, no the society of serbian communities that mr. could t and a government in pristine, i will not do duties for that is the main reasons. what for revelation and protest . ok a david, do you agree with that? a zone there. i'd say it was over a bit so ah, let's see what the cost on the side of it. if i cancel the latest router. so sort of begun. in the september, 1 possible government decided that they had to swish from work because of the government deems illegal car place, which are issued by serbia. and we have to have new license plate which are issued by offer. this is regina. it was obviously cause of listening to balance it with its borders under revolving here. so government claims should have the same car to place all this car place people in northern, of kosovo,

were using for this 20 years of were what issued by annual service time regime? actually they are, they are the names of course it is like come up for me to a visa for mission and others and are a sign of severe rules in cause of during the night. so it was a greeting process as well, but professor said we, i didn't and didn't want to implement as part of the agreement, including the i d, 's. oh, also a service. have to have lived there in my dis, which auto ms. castillo issued by casa law. 30, so a deal was reached because every time in kosovo been in grocery or you would have a special sheet of paper in which i would say that they don't recognize kosovo. so you could only enter instead of be over here. so crossover wanted to do the same for serbia center, mr. coming to crossover by the way, agreed that no part will know stage sheet of paper. but then the car plate was

something that sets of poles. they don't want to have the car with kosovo state, of course of the size. so it less than to kosovo. kind of a government saying that they really should. fines that will confiscate the cars. but then after international pressure, kosovo gave up, and it will spawn in definitely to loose are still able to have those. are those cars? ok, and then all, no, just a year to let me know they've got the license plate issue and i want to get an idea from david what the situation really is that because at the end of november there was an agreement that you guys came together and formed an agreement over that, so just give us an update from the outside perspective as to where we are actually at with this license plate issue. but the discussion about the a s. m is shake news sir. kosovo is a model of minority rights through its constitution by adopting the ada, sorry,

principles. during negotiations. what's happening here is that serbia is looking at provoke a confrontation and it's not acting on its own serbia, as acting as a proxy of russia or by involving nato in the dispute. it's trying to broaden the conflict. we need to understand this in broader geopolitical terms. i cassava is an ally of the west. it would not exist without nader's military intervention. or russia wants to cancel that and to create a new fraud and its confrontation with nato and metro visa as a convenient spot for escalated intentions. it's important that we step back, that we take a deep breath and we recognize that cassava is sovereign and independent. its been recognized by more than a 100 countries, serbia needs to accept the fact that it los gatos over because of its crimes. ok,

and it's never going back under serbia's control. ok if we can just take i'll give you a 2nd and just put this tell you a visual another issue because e a r l was pretty angry with the cost of an prime minister for raising this issue . given that it is so sensitive, he was angry with him that he raised that at this time and cause these tensions. why did kosovo insist on causing these tensions? ok, it's about sovereignty in control. it's really not about license plates. serbia has consistently rejected or stonewall all the agreements that were reached through the brussels dialogue. it wants to undermine the state building project in kosovo. and it wants to give the united states a black guy because the u. s. is the primary backer of crossovers, independence, so let's not make a mistake and focus on license plates or diplomas or area codes. this is

a geopolitical struggle with serbia acting as russia agent. kind of trying to duncan, i think he went to when you would agree that this is a geopolitical struggle, that this issue is about something much bigger than license plates. but do you accept that sab, as rush it back, saying as a, as a proxy for russia? yes, but 1st of all, this kind of the, there is a, this kind of rhetorics will not bring us to these. we need the situation to come down. and if we use this as an argument that serbia is a proxy of russia then and that way cost, so its proxy of united states. so what we do have war, i disagree completely with this. and of course, there is nothing in bristol based support or regarding ideas and carpets. everything started with government. you please do not erase this issue. we doubt finalizing when you see polity of serbians,

a society of sort of your municipality. so i ask you, please come down, we need diplomacy. we don't need to use the thought x from night peace and cetera, et cetera, because that will not bring us nowhere what we need. now it's more european union present negotiations, and let's put 2 sites on the table. now, let's agreed, who did not, or who feel full, but it russell's piece of course, and over a minute because the problem is, does the serbian president agree with you? i mean, is he following that advice as well? because he's gone and a requested for serbian police to be stationed in northern kosovo. he knows that that's not going to happen, but it's only going to inflate your situation. it ok, is it lisa? this is very simple. who started the issue with car plates and this is not, that is not even sentence with our friend from police to not a he a say

a said nothing in bristol piece of court state about id or corporate. so it is christina, initiate it is provocative language, but i don't want to blame no one. i want, as i said, let's talk, let's agree, let's come down situation, let's not call each other us russia, whatever proxies. let's talk and find out solutions. and i think we doubt this even utopian union recognize, even as a special envoy of united states and net delgado. i think that he also recognized that christine a did something that it should not. that's why that is the pressure on christina not to not to both fully a decision on how to pledge and cetera happy doubt consultation without any real agreement and set them out to you. except that it is pretty difficult for some 50000 ethnic sad to live in cost of our given the history. i've lived my whole life

in kosovo, according to the time when i was refugee as a teenager. and i was made a refugee because of us are going aggression against coastal and i've been living here close all of your neighbors for many years. we are there station to know us of kosovo. what closely with our son and colleagues or not, nothing wanted. what other parts, of course was, was one pacifically boundaries in 2008 according to an artist, sorry, plan which was the mediator because the one server it took publication to respect minority rights. simila, which is an official language in kosovo. a level just for some of the lesson is a repetitive fights. i have been lately guarded. i've been all of this year's gone nato and by nato troops. i know that is a lot of what to do generally, not just about what everyone living in kosovo when comes to. i kind of man dollars . i thing this not accepting the reality,

which is that close always and abandon states makes it harder for, for service to live. there thing with belgrade, the fact that these are ruled here by a bar to was 96 percent of the vote. and it was a direct link with mister bush instead of react, which is donald contra, didn't align. it's foreign policy with, with you when it comes to russia, it makes it difficult to atlanta integrating costs. and david, do you think those ethics, i think cost of a being let down by serbian leaders in belgrade. more than the town they're being manipulated. they're cannon fodder in a broader conflict. let's remember that mr. brewer church was melissa, which is chief propaganda. and he is now continuing the milosevic agenda to establish a greater serbia. i seize in control of territories where serbs live today,

especially with european integration. this is increasingly less important. what's important is international standards. a bill of rights minority rights cassava is a, an example of a country which has fully embraced minority rights protections and promotions or its ethnic serbs. citizens, instead of trying to upset relations of serbia, should withdraw these barricades casino, so should find ways of interacting with their counterparts, kosovo, albanians. i'm proud of my family and sponsored a library and metro rates where customers serves in cost for our bands can come together and meet and cooperate. my teenage daughters were involved in that project . there's no reason why people can't get along unless they're manipulated by external forces. dock her what will it take for the leaders in belgrade for sabby at to recognize kosovo as an independent nation. agreement to

1st of all casa was never independent. it's sewell, in part of sir, a sort of being $3030.00, and it's not on the russia, but also china locking in many european countries like spain. ramona, a cypress greece. they don't recognize coastal independence of the dots, but your agreement, it's sort of be a. so if you talk, if you talk about the background and politicians, so we can talk about, i've been democracy, who was a speech of the father of either being put t and i didn't do much e d, russian spy. he passivate, he was spiritually father of. i'd been good, so if he talk about the background and past, if you not bring us nowhere. so up a little boy, they ain't saying what i'm thinking about tomorrow thing. a vinyl in the could it thought it thought is funny, but distinguished because from he was ok,

will never, never believe that with us doctor. what this, what needs to happen for a final agreement to occur between kosovo and serbia because that's the only solution that is going to work here that's going to end 20 years of conflict. so at least in a has to feel full international obligations. that means create creation of a society of serbia, money, c panel. and that's it. and phillips, we had a tournament, a mice there. sabina mess palatez and northern cost of it. yet it is not co society, it's called association of serbian municipalities. it is an agreement that was signed back in 2013 by casa and soviet russel's. but in 2016, there was a new agreement as well. it was taken at the constitutional court. so, because the agreement says that it should have the opinion of because the

constitutional court decided the 23 of the articles or of some 27 go against the constitution. but because you know what it said, it should be graded. so all this year for the discussion here was how should be graded? not to be something similar to them because of scott in our invoice. yeah. which would make also a dysfunctional state. so that the discussion, our, everyone knows here laura, in kosovo. what we have to do comprise possible has to go compromise in order to dismantle a set of yeah, it would mean, given the greater alton to me, to customer service, even greater than the one that is. what i did with the other side of back is, which was the basis, of course, of declaring independence in 2008 in close coordination with the democratic world. meaning u. s. r, u k, a, germany and other countries. david, what's that? so actually being token to try to reach this final agreement is lasting solution,

is that if you ask me, okay, all these countries, are they involved enough in making that happen? no, they're not involved enough. and the architecture of mediation that puts you from the center is floor there will be no deal between serbia and cost. so unless the u . s. is a co chair and leading the negotiations as sort of deferring to the u. the u. s. has to step up and it needs to make its position is clear. it's to knock some heads together so we can get to a deal. and let me just say a word about the association of serbian municipalities. it was agreed, it should be implemented. but in this case, there should be cemetery and reciprocity in serbia and the per shabba valley where you have albanian municipalities. it too should have extensive autonomy and cultural and political rights. the only way we're going to get to an agreement is if we see all sides compared to accommodate the demands of our

citizens and move forward with the democratic and rights package. absolutely. ok. well that i'm afraid our time is up. i'm sure we will be revised to this topic again to see the discussion moving forward. thank you very much today to all our guests for joining us, jim. all right, john talk. i tried fun of it and david l. phillips and thank you too for watching. you can see the program again any time by visiting a website that's out there a dot com. and to further discussion do go to our facebook page. that's facebook dot com, forward slash ha inside story. it was a join the conversation on twitter handle is at a inside story. from me laura kyle and the whole team here it's bye for now. ah.
