Serb National Council Of Kosovo And Metohija
Serbian National Council of Kosovo and Metohija (abbreviated as ''SNC Kosovo and Metohija'', sr, Srpsko nacionalno Veće Kosova i Metohije, SNV KiM) is an elected political and coordinating body acting as a representative of Serbs of Kosovo. History North Kosovo barricades Tensions flared over the issue of controlling Kosovo-Serbia checkpoints. From Kosovo's independence in 2008 until mid-July, the two main border posts in the north were controlled by EULEX. But on July 25, the Republic of Kosovo deployed special police to these two checkpoints to enforce a recent trade ban on goods entering from Serbia proper.
