"Self-determination," ethnic Albanian group against U.N. administration in Kosovo

The group, opposing talks with Serbia on the future of the disputed province, called for a protest Thursday against the U.N. administrators running Kosovo for seven years.

Its leaders have organized numerous protests against U.N. administrators in Kosovo, the AP reports.

Their followers press for the province's independence from Serbia, and oppose the U.N.-brokered talks between ethnic Albanian and Serbian officials aimed at steering both sides toward a negotiated solution on the province's future status by the end of the year.

Kosovo has been administered by the United Nations since a 1999 NATO air war halted the Serb offensive.
