Pacoli who is now in Kabul, told the Pristina media on Sunday on the phone that he was negotiating her release.
According to the media, Pacoli has called on Islamic leaders to set free Ms. Habibi whose health is worsening.
Habibi, who is an Albanian from the Kosovo town of Pec with the UN travel papers, Irishwoman Annette Flanigan, and Filipino Angelito Nayan, members of the UN election commission in Afghanistan, were kidnapped in Kabul ten days ago. Local militants have threatened to kill them if the Afghan government fails to find and release 26 Taliban prisoners until Tuesday.
