Albanians officials in south Serbia announced a protest march in Presevo for Monday, with messages to be sent to the authorities in Belgrade and the international community.
Pristina said the removal of the monument jeopardised dialogue.
After today's closed-door meeting of Bujanovac and Pristina politicians, Riza Halimi, a deputy in Serbia's parliament, said an "opportunity has been missed" to solve this inter-ethnic conflict peacefully.
Following the removal of the monument, Albanian Ambassador in Belgrade Shpetim Caushi arrived in Presevo for talks with the Albanian leaders.
Kosovo Parliament Speaker Jakup Krasniqi condemned the removal of the monument, saying this was not conducive to peace and stability in the region or to normalisation talks between Belgrade and Pristina.
He said in a press release the removal was "proof that Belgrade is still a generator of destabilisation, inciting conflict and hatred among peoples." He labelled the removal as an "act of cowardice" and accused Belgrade of "changing nothing of the logic, mentality and actions of Slobodan Milosevic's authorities."
Krasniqi called on Albanians in south Serbia to remain cool-headed, so as "not to become victims of Belgrade's provocations, no matter how painful those provocations might be.
The Kosovo Democratic Alliance said the removal of the monument represented pressure on the remaining Albanians to move from Presevo Valley.
Presevo municipal head Raqmi Mustafa said it was a known fact that the Albanians in south Serbia wanted to unite with Kosovo. He recalled a 1992 vote on the political, territorial and cultural autonomy of Presevo Valley and a 2006 platform saying that if any part of Kosovo's territory was broken up, the Albanians in Presevo Valley would work towards becoming part of Kosovo.
Mustafa said Serbia should do for the Albanians in Presevo Valley what it was doing for the Serbs in north Kosovo, showing Kosovo, European Union and world officials how national minorities' rights were being enforced.
