Prishtina [Pristina], 20 September: The Kosova [Kosovo] Assembly delegation led by Assembly Chairman Kole Berisha, after coming back to Kosova from a visit to Slovenia, said that they have gained full support for the processes that Kosova is going through.

"It was a confirmation of cooperation and of Slovene friendship, certainly we have talked about the issue of Kosova status and we got support from the Slovene parliament speaker," said Berisha.

Meanwhile, Berisha repeated his statement given to Slovene media that if the will of the majority is not fulfilled there will be revolt.

"My statement was very real that if Kosova's population does not fulfil its goal, then certainly there will be revolt and they would be very reasonable," said Berisha.
