The roadblocks, which Serbs say were erected to protest the recent arrest of a former Kosovo Serb police officer, came despite the postponement of the December 18 municipal election opposed by Kosovo Serbs. Mr Kurti called on Kosovo's Serbs "to distance themselves from the criminal groups and Mr Vucic's regime that is funding them and looking for a war".
Unidentified masked men were seen on the Serb barricades that blocked main roads leading to the border with Serbia, as Kosovo authorities closed two border crossings to all traffic and pedestrians.
