Kosovo independence petition started

TETOVO, SKOPLJE [Skoplje is Serbian version of the name Skopje] - The American Albanian Civic League has started up a petition for the independence of Kosovo.
The league, which is currently collecting signatures of support, is lead by [former] US congressman Joseph DioGuardi, who is of Albanian descent.
The petitioning is being done throughout Macedonia, Albania and Kosovo, and is planned on being submitted to the US congress.
A promotion was held today in Tetovo [Macedonia], with the presence of every [ethnic] Albanian led party in Macedonia supporting the petition.
Opposing the movement is the Macedonian ruling party, the Social-Democratic Party, whose representatives say that they believe that the status of Kosovo needs to be reached through institutions and through discussions between Belgrade and Kosovo.
Opposition party VMRO-DPMNE agrees with the stance of the ruling party and has called on the national government to put an end to the petitioning action.
"The Macedonian government will have to decide by what date the leaders of this initiative have to leave the country." VMRO-DPMNE representative Slobodan Casule [Chashule] said, adding that, "They are free to collect signatures in Pristina." [Prishtina]
