Bajram Rexhepi says the removal of barriers is “inevitable” as they prevent “freedom of movement for people and goods.”
He said Thursday that any action would be coordinated with the NATO-led peacekeeping force and the European Union rule of law mission.
Serbs in the country’s north bordering Serbia reject Kosovo’s 2008 secession and have blocked main roads to stop authorities from setting up customs, a move they see as establishing Kosovo’s statehood over the whole territory.
A clash between local Serbs and NATO-led troops near the border on Tuesday left 11 people — seven Serbs and four troops — wounded.
