I guess that it cant drive with those plates? Btw i'm trying to collect those license plates

Across Serbia they were invalidated after 31 December 2011, but reports saw them being driven in parts of Kosovo as late as mid-2012, ostensibly as part of refusal of population to get Kosovo plates, may they be "neutral-status" ones (NNN-KS-NNN) or the ones using the 2010 system (RR NNN-LL).

The 2010 system plates of Kosovo are now allowed in Serbia as long as you cover the RKS-band and the coat of arms with white tape

Okay, thanks for the information!

I have read some stories on the news a while ago that kosovo and serbia had a clash about their license plates. But are those neutral status plates (123-KS-456) the first plates kosovo used when they became independent? And are they still issued today?

There are still lots of tensions regarding KS plates. They ditched those neutral plates completely and obliged people to switch to 01 111-AA system. Those plates were invalid in Serbia for a decade and more and if someone from KS wanted to travel to Serbia they had to remove the plates and they would get Serbian test plates to drive around. But they didn't like that and threatened to do the same to Serbian plated vehicles until everything escalated so much to the point that the EU had to intervene and a temporary solution was put on the table which neither Serbia or KS liked. And that solution (ultimatum) was that both parties must accept each other's plates and cover the national symbols with white tape when they cross the administrative point. But even that didn't help much to lower the tensions as the so called ''republic of Kosovo'' continued harassing Belgrade to completely stop issuing Serbian plates with Kosovo codes and they threaten to confiscate such plates on their territory and continue to harass all citizens who don't want to take KS plates.. It's honestly such a complicating and never-ending saga.

Not to mention, some time ago there were leaflets featuring made-up plates of both systems with some apparent symbolism (01 666-AK crossed out and KM 1244-UN) and the slogan "no surrendering, KM remains", posted on windshields on cars in North Mitrovica.

You're right in the sense that the neutral plates were the first used by Kosovo and they were introduced as early as (most likely) June 1999, long before independence. They were issued together with the 2010 system up until around 2021, but primarily for those vehicles who want to cross into Serbia, yet trouble began to slowly arise (before culminating in July last year) only after the cessation of issuing of these plates.

Thank you!
