Mustafa is the new President of the Albanian Minority National Council in Serbia.

"Presevo valley" is the informal name for a region in the southern part of central Serbia that has ethnic Albanian minorities in three of its largest towns: Presevo, Bujanovac, and Medvedja.

This has been stated by representatives of EU's foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini, according to Pristina-based Albanian language daily Koha.

They are further quoted as saying that a legally binding agreement between Belgrade and Pristina on the normalization of relations "must guarantee a viable solution that is in line with international laws."

Kosovo Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj said on Friday that no one should question the competences of the assembly after Kosovo President Hashim Thaci asked the Constitutional Court whether an international agreement signed by him would be considered ratified.

We have encouraged the government to work methodically on the transitioning of the KSF and to continue its campaign in Kosovo, as well as with international partners, to secure maximal support for this transition," the embassy said in a written reply to Albanian language newspaper Koha, adding:

This happened "because it is impossible to do it through constitutional amendments due to the veto of Serb MPs."

According to the new plan, the transition will take ten years.

UNMIK's Media Observer is reporting this on Friday, citing Pristina-based Albanian language newspaper Koha.

The conference is set to take place in Banja Luka, Bosnia-Herzegovina, the report continued - and Tirana and Skopje are boycotting it "because of exclusion of Kosovo from the event."

The initiative concerns a similar court being formed by the UN.

Two years ago, when the authorities in Pristina were hesitant to adopt the law to set up the Specialist Chambers - known also as the special court for KLA crimes - the US was also warning about the possibility of activation of a Plan B to form a new, similar court.
