Montgomery: US, EU working on suspending Kosovo- Serbia

Former US Ambassador to Serbia William Montgomery says that next year Serbia will play a vital role in preventing the escalation of any regional conflict. He pointed to Serbia's role in the situation when parts of the region are still unstable and foreign forces show great interest in it [...]
He noted Serbia's role in the situation when parts of the region are still unstable, and foreign forces show a strong interest in influencing developments in the Balkans.
It is important that Serbia take over the situation, so that it does not correspond to the inevitable provocation of political actors in other countries of the region and that it should continue to protect reconciliation”, Montgomery told “Tanjug” in the question of what could happen in 2018 in the region.
According to him, problems in the region will not be solved by looking back, but looking forward to what kind of region it should be, which means “parts of Europe economically strong, democratic and reasonably integrated”, reports “b92”, the Periscopi broadcast.
The danger is that interethnic relations remain antagonistic and potentially violent, while the international community is trying to resolve the situation in the region,” he said.
“Allow me to stress that the EU and the United States work unconsciously in destroying Brussels' dialogue, putting the burden on meeting conditions towards Serbia, without putting any pressure on Kosovo Albanians”, he concluded./Periscopi/
