June 10, 2006 -- The top United Nations mediator for Kosovo has appealed to the province's Serbian minority to end its boycott of government institutions.
Martti Ahtisaari said on a visit to Prishtina that this was the best way to achieve a multiethnic society in the disputed province.
Ahtisaari was speaking after meeting a team sent by the province to take part in talks with Serbia on Kosovo's future.
Ethnic Albanians are seeking independence from Serbia, a possibility that Serbs reject.
