The vice president of the Democratic League of Kosovo, Lutfi Haziri, has said that if he were the prime minister, he would agree to an exchange territory and give 17 villages around Leposavic and Zubin Potok in exchange for Presevo, Medvedja and Bujanovac, reports Kosovo Online.

According to him, after the Second World War, these 17 villages were added to Kosovo, while Presevo, Bujanovac and Medvedja went to to the district of Vranje.

"The villages in Leposavic, Zubin Potok are Serb, there are no Albanians. For some time, they were in the territorial organization of Serbia. It is the demarcation of the border, the technical correction of the border, it cannot even be called a change of the border," Haziri told the website Reporteri.

He said that the announcements that the border to the river Ibar would be changed were incorrect and that they were aimed at intimidating people.

He assessed that "Serbia does not want only the north of Kosovo, but the whole of Kosovo."

"Serbia claims that it will return the whole of Kosovo with (UN) Resolution 1244, at least formally, and continues to lie to its own people," says Haziri.

He denied that there are secret agreements, as claimed by outgoing Prime Minister of Kosovo Albin Kurti.
