PRISTINA, Kosovo (AP) - Thousands of people in Kosovo are protesting their
president's willingness to include a possible territory swap with Serbia in
the ongoing negotiations to normalize relations between the two countries.

Supporters of Kosovo's opposition Self-Determination Party held banners and
national Albanian flags as they marched through the capital city of Pristina
toward Skanderbeg Square.

Kosovo President Hashim Thaci has mentioned a "border correction" that would
bring southern Serbia's Albanian-dominated Presevo Valley into Kosovo.

Some Kosovo and Serbian officials have discussed a deal based on where
ethnic minorities are concentrated, such as the Presevo Valley and the
northern region in Kosovo where many Serbs live.

Kosovo declared independence in 2008 from Serbia, which does not recognize
it as a country.

Both countries hope the European Union-facilitated talks will result in a
legally binding agreement.
