PRISTINA, Serbia, May 24 (UPI) -- Kosovo's Prime Minister Agim Ceku has said his government will open an office at the European Union in Brussels.
Following talks with Soren Jessen-Petersen, head of the U.N. civil mission in Kosovo, Ceku said establishing an office in Brussels would facilitate Kosovo's work in addressing demands for EU integration, the Internet news agency KosovaLive reported.
Jessen-Petersen said Ceku will attend a session of the U.N. Security Council, which is to debate future standards for Serbia's Kosovo province, whose population of 1.8 million is 90 percent ethnic-Albanian.
Since February, Serbs and ethnic-Albanians have been meeting in Austria to decide who will govern Kosovo, once U.N. and NATO personnel leave the province.
Ceku and a majority of ethnic-Albanians advocate independence from Belgrade, while the Serb minority of 100,000 wishes full autonomy for their enclaves in Kosovo.
