Those two are not the same thing, so first find out which one you're using.

Tell unicode which encoding to convert from, like this:
alb=unicode(alb,'iso-8859-2')
If you use win1250, use 'cp1250' as the second string.

Convert s before joining it with x and y, or alternatively define it as an  
unicode string at the beginning:
   s=u'Z\xf6rr'
   s='x'+s+'y'
   print s
