The Serbs stopped three jeeps of the EU mission in Kosovo because they believed they were transporting Kosovo customs officers.
After a short delay, the EULEX convoy headed back to Pristina, Tanjug's correspondent has reported.
The Serbs, who oppose the presence of the Kosovo customs at Jarinje, said they used their vehicles to block the Pristina-Raska road because EULEX was driving Kosovo customs officers to the crossing point.
As soon as the EULEX vehicles turned around, the road was unblocked but the Serbs remained to stand watch nearby, warming themselves by a fire.
