Albanian flags were put up on many of the houses in the village of Konculj, southern Serbia, inhabited solely by ethnic Albanians.

Albanian flags were put up on many of the houses in the village of Konculj, southern Serbia, inhabited solely by ethnic Albanians.

This action was organized by the youth of the Movement for Democratic Progress (PDP).

PDP leader Jonuz Musliu, who is also the president of the Bujanovac municipal assembly, told Tanjug he had known nothing about the intentions of his party's younger members.

"This morning I saw the village of Konculj decorated with more than 100 Albanian flags. The young members informed me that all the villagers were expressing their support for my party this way," Musliu stated.

Konculj is a traditional supporter of the PDP, which came out as the second strongest ethnic Albanian party in Bujanovac after the local elections four years ago, winning 14 percent of the vote, or 6 seats in the municipal assembly.

The PDP will run in the parliamentary election too, where it will be part of the Coalition of Presevo Valley Albanians, along with three other ethnic Albanian parties.

Konculj is located 10 km away from Bujanovac. The checkpoint towards Kosovo that bears the village's name is situated there as well.

According to the 2002 census, which is the most recent data because the local Albanians boycotted the 2011 census, 1,306 people live in Konculj in 186 families.
