A senior Russian diplomat says Moscow is working on a meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova told reporters Thursday that Moscow and Washington are discussing a possible meeting at the U.N. General Assembly in New Rork next month but that they haven't agreed on the time or agenda yet.

A Kosovo court has decided that a former Serb general, who had illegally crossed the border, should be expelled.

Earlier this month Milovan Bojovic was arrested and sentenced to one month in jail for illegally crossing the border.

Kosovo opposition lawmakers have released tear gas to disrupt a parliamentary session to protest government deals with Serbia and Montenegro.

Kosovo's Parliament is expected to elect Hashim Thaci, Foreign Minister and former guerrilla leader, as the next president.

Thaci, who led the fighters of Kosovo's successful separatist war against Serbia in 1998-99, believes he has the votes in the 120-seat Parliament. Kosovo declared independence in 2008, although that is rejected by Serbia.
