In an interview to the BBC, Feith said that the registration of the population in Kosovo would be carried out prior to the elections, most probably in early 2011.
Feith stated that before the elections Kosovo faces a series of other important issues, such as the development of the feasibility study on stabilization and association to the EU.
He said that the feasibility study would be developped this year, adding that there is a timetable for this.
Under the Kosovo Constitution, Kosovo President Fatmir Sejdiu is in charge of calling elections.
However, regardless of the provisions of the Kosovo Constitution, the international civilian representative, in keeping with Martti Ahtisaari's proposal, is the final authority in Kosovo on the interpretation of the implementation of the proposal.
