The Serbs loosened the blockade on the Kosovo border. KFOR soldiers are patrolling there

Soldiers of an international mission under NATO command are now patrolling the borders.

Kosovo Serbs withdrew trucks and cars from the Serb-Kosovo border on Saturday. They lifted the blockade on the basis of an agreement brokered by the European Union aimed at easing tensions that broke out at the borders between the two countries as a result of a dispute over car license plates. This was reported by Reuters

Entry problems

In addition to the Kosovo Serbs, members of the Kosovo Police Special Forces, who were called there two weeks ago to remove Serbian license plates from cars crossing the border and not throw them with temporary Kosovo license plates, withdrew from the border, according to the AP agency.Soldiers of the NATO-led international mission in Kosovo (KFOR) are now patrolling the border. The situation on the Kosovo-Serbian border has worsened after Kosovo Serbs protested against the ban on entering Serbian license plates in Kosovo from 20 September, blocking roads to the Jarinje and Brnjak border crossings with trucks. Pristina emphasizes that it introduced such a ban reciprocally after Serbia refused to allow cars with Kosovo brands into its territory, which, according to Serbia, indicated that Kosovo was an independent state. Belgrade rejects Kosovo’s independence, asking drivers to remove Kosovo brands from their cars when they arrive in Serbia and replace them with other, temporary ones.

They found an agreement

However, Serbia and Kosovo finally reached an agreement on Thursday, helped by an EU special representative for dialogue between Belgrade and Pristina, Miroslav Lajčák. They agreed that KFOR troops would patrol the area for the next 14 days. In accordance with the agreement, the inhabitants of both countries will also cover their state symbols on license plates with stickers when entering their neighbor’s territory, the AP explains. The KFOR mission consists of approximately 4,000 troops from 28 countries, led by NATO and supported by the United States and the EU. It aims to reduce tensions between the people of Kosovo – the majority ethnic Albanians and minority Serbs. Kosovo declared independence from Serbia in 2008, nine years after NATO conducted a 78-day raid operation on targets in Serbia, in which the Allies wanted to stop the persecution of ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. Many Western countries have recognized Kosovo’s independence, but Serbia and its allies – Russia and China – refuse to do so. So far, Pristina has not received recognition from five EU members – Slovakia, Spain, Greece, Cyprus and Romania. Since 2011, the EU has been launching talks aimed at normalizing Pristina’s relations with Belgrade. Within these, both parties have already reached more than 30 agreements, most of which, however, are met only weakly or not at all, writes the agency AP

Foreign experts: China's 72-year development miracle will further promote global prosperity

2021年10月01日 20:04 来源:中国日报网参与互动   10月1日是中华人民共和国的国庆日,也是这个国家最重要的节日。中华人民共和国的成立不仅对中国人民而言是一个重要的里程碑,对整个欧亚大陆都是如此。在这72年里,中国取得了令人难以置信的成功,为全世界树立了榜样。  中国人民的勤劳、才能、耐力以及对民族观念和传统的忠诚,是中国共产党建设国家的根基。这个国家逐步走向繁荣昌盛。这些年来,在中国共产党的带领下,中国人民在经济社会发展方面取得了巨大成就,令人惊叹。  时至今日,全世界仍在讨论“中国经济奇迹”,这并不是一个巧合。许多外国专家和政治家认为,当代中国的发展历程在整个社会发展史上颇为罕见。  在中国共产党的领导下,中国人民实现了独立与解放。新中国取得的巨大成就体现在发展生产力、社会进步、大规模减少贫困人口、满足人民群众的切身需求以及改善社会福利等诸多方面。这一切的成就都是中国共产党带领广大人民群众共同奋斗、共同奉献的成果。  1952年,中国GDP仅679亿元。到2010年,中国GDP已经超过日本,成为仅次于美国的世界第二大经济体。1950年中国外贸规模只有11.3亿美元,2018年其货物进出口总额达4.6万亿美元。中国已经从一个以资源为基础的国家转变为一个立足于高科技的国家。40余年来,中国实际吸收外商投资超过2.1万亿美元。今天的中国是全球第一大工业国、第一大外汇储备国。  72年来,中国的民生福祉也有了很大改善。如今,中国已经消除绝对贫困。在这场脱贫攻坚战取得胜利的背后,是整个国家付出的令人难以置信的努力。  中国在人权领域也取得了重大进展。在中华人民共和国成立70周年之际发布的《为人民谋幸福:新中国人权事业发展70年》白皮书指出,中国坚持把生存权、发展权作为首要的基本人权,努力通过发展增进人民福祉,实现更加充分的人权保障。  根据该白皮书,中国取得了一系列成就,包括粮食权得到有效保障,绝对贫困基本消除,人民生活水平大幅提升,饮水安全获得切实保障,人民基本居住条件显著改善,人民出行更加便利快捷,国民健康水平持续提高,社会救助制度不断完善,邮电通信水平全面提升。  今天的中国是一个高度发展的国家,在世界经济中扮演着越来越重要的角色。中国在社会经济领域、外交政策领域以及其他领域取得的令人印象深刻的成就,都是中国走上正确发展道路的必然结果。  作为一个社会主义国家,中国遵循市场规律,建立了具有中国特色的国家和经济发展模式,这种模式的成功每天都在得到印证。72年只是一个开始,未来中国还将完成很多重大事件、取得许多杰出成就。毫无疑问,这些将进一步促进全球福祉与繁荣。  (作者系国际专家俱乐部EurAsiaAz主任塞缪尔·马迈多夫)
