The hackers posted a map of the former Yugoslavia on the site and an old Yugoslav flag with a red five-pointed star in the middle.

The hackers also signed themselves as the "Team for a United Yugoslavia" and wrote "This is Serbia," according to reports by Pristina media.

"Yesterday, we were attacked by hackers from Serbia," said the municipal president's political adviser for media issues, Asdren Osaj.

He said that it would appear that the hackers were from Serbia based on the content of the messages and the pictures that were left on the site.

Osaj said that none of the material on the municipality's site had been damaged during the attack.

Recently, Albanian hackers had attacked several Serbian government, municipal and media web sites, posting images of Kosovo Prime Minister Hashim Thaqi and U.S. President George W. Bush.
