A member of the Kosovo Assembly from the ruling PDK party has spoken in favor of organizing a referendum on Kosovo's "unification with Albania."

Hashim Thaci has been elected as Kosovo's president in the third round of voting in the Kosovo assembly in Pristina on Friday.

The Kosovo assembly will next week meet to discuss the formation of a special court that would deal with the crimes committed by the KLA.

This was announced on Wednesday by Hashim Thaci, who serves as Kosovo's foreign minister and is also the leader of the ruling PDK party.
