Ethic Albanian leaders from the Presevo Valley say redrawing of borders between Kosovo and Serbia proper is a good solution. “The Contact Group, Belgrade and Pristina may find the alteration of borders unacceptable, while the Presevo Valley Albanians beg to differ,” Pristina daily Koha Ditore wrote in its Sunday edition. “Valley Albanians favor land swap” The newspaper quoted Presevo municipal president Ragmi Mustafa as saying that this solution “would contribute to the preservation of peace in the entire Balkans, if crucial factors managed to agree and support the swap of the territory.” Former Kosovo prime minister Bajram Rexhepi said Friday that Pristina could agree to partitioning of the province only if it gets the municipalities of Presevo, Bujanovac and Medvedja in the Presevo Valley in Serbia's south. “The exchange of territory between Serbia proper and Kosovo would make up a favorable solution with respect to promoting long-term solid and sustainable neighborly relations,” Mustafa was reported as saying.
