He said they have continued contacts with the International Organisation for Animal Health, so that they can be prepared for an opportunity present in Kosovo.

We are constantly monitoring the situation in countries where there are suspected cases and as the highest authority we have continued contact with the international animal health organisation and receive notices of all developments that occur both in the region and the world, and we are working to prepare for cases present in Kosovo”.

We have no case at present and we should share it with you since 2005 when bird flu was then we've been preparing plans and we've also been on the line of authority in preparation for response to bird flu disease”, Thaqi added.

Among other things, Thaqi said it is a new flu and still has room to investigate the danger and way of spreading bird flu disease, EO reports.

It's a new flu because in the past it's been H5N1 and H5N7, so it's a new flu and there's still room for research about the risk and the way of spreading the disease, but any information coming out of international authority we're going to share with our citizen right away so that we're prepared as a population shit-hup authority to do our best not to be affected by this <x1.

The H5N8 bird flu has also appeared in humans, while seven poultry farmers in Russia have been confirmed last December with this virus.
