Head of the National Council Jonuz Musliu accused Serbian Government of boycotting a dialogue with Albanians in Presevo Valley, regardless the fact that it has accepted the seven-point platform on accomplishment of basic rights of Albanians in this area.
In September, Albanian political representatives will present a report on the situation of their rights before the so-called group, Friends of the Valley, which comprises ambassadors of the EU Member States, and the Ambassador of the United States. According to Shaip Kamberi, mayor of Bujanovac, this opportunity will be used to urge the International Community to be more active in Presevo Valley and to impose on Serbian Government officials to start a new dialogue with Albanians in this area.
The dialogue between Albanian representatives of Presevo, Bujanovac and Medvedje and Serbian Government officials, facilitated by the OSCE, resulted in acceptance of a seven-point platform by Serbian Government officials; however, its implementation has never started.
