The municipal government in the southern town of Presevo, made up of three ethnic Albanian parties, has collapsed. Democratic Union of the Valley leader Skender Destani said his party had decided to leave the coalition with Ragmi Mustafa's Democratic Party of Albanians and Orhan Redzepi's the National Movement of Albanians.

Mustafa is currently in Tirana, Albania, and is not available for comment. MP Riza Halimi, who heads another ethnic Albanian party - the Party for Democratic Action - which our reporter says is in opposition after having won a majority of votes in the last local elections, has rejected the possibility that he will enter a new coalition now. "We at the Party for Democratic Action are not considering this," said Halimi. The ruling municipal coalition that collapsed held 22 out of 38 seats in the local assembly, with the Democratic Party of Albanians having 14, and the Democratic Union of the Valley and the National Movement of Albanians five and two councilors respectively.
