The date is marked as independence day in neighboring Albania, and is also celebrated by Kosovo's 90-percent Albanian majority.
Ceku said his idea has not been discussed with or approved by other Kosovo-Albanian officials or with the UN administration in Kosovo.
Ceku said he believed a Western bid to steer Kosovo's secession from Serbia through the United Nations had failed.
