Representatives of all parties acting among Albanians in Bujanovac, Presevo and Medvedja and representatives of the non-governmental sector agreed that the Assembly of all Albanian councillors from these three municipalities will meet on July 14th and adopt a statement on political events in the region, the President of the Democratic Party of Albanians (DPA), Ragmi Mustafa told news agency FoNet.

On Monday, a commission was formed from representatives of all political parties, which will prepare the statement.

Serbian First Deputy PM and Foreign Minister, Ivica Dacic said that president of Bujanovac municipality Jonuz Musliu should be "thanking God for not yet being arrested".

The Belgrade daily Vecernje Novosti reported this today.

Dacic also pointed out that adding "the Presevo Valley" - an area in the southern part of central Serbia that has an ethnic Albanian minority - to Kosovo and Metohija is "Musliu's pipe dream" - unless the EU thinks that Presevo is also a specific and unique case."

"It would not surprise me," Dacic allegedly said.

Serbia's Military-Security Agency (VBA) has seized a large quantity of weapons in the southern parts of the country.

According to the daily Blic, the weapons were being transported illegally to Macedonia.

It is assumed that the weapons were intended for "the party infrastructure of the biggest Albanian parties" whose officials took part in armed conflicts in Macedonia, and in Kosovo and Metohija, the newspaper is reporting, citing "VBA sources."

The official portal of the Government of Kosovo published the news that Kosovo Prime Minister Isa Mustafa met with representatives of the municipalities of Preševo, Bujanovac and Medveđa, and called them the representatives “of the eastern municipalities of Kosovo."
