ZS - Serbia The flag makes is very clear: The Serbian Railways operate this station! The Serbian Railways operate deep into Kosovo, into the part where the population mainly consists of Serbs. Of course the Kosovo gouvernment is very crossed about this, and forbids all train operation over the "internal" border between Zvecan and Mitrovicė. Actually, passenger service north of Fushė Kosovė has been withdrawn by Kosovo Railways. Zvecan, 25-08-2009 Digital photo by Marco van Uden
