In addition to the important visit, it seems important that there were the messages the senior American official gave, and one was that: for Washington and Brussels, Hashim Thaci remains the key man for [...]
In Skopje, troubled after the adoption of constitutional changes opening Macedonia's Euro-Atlantic road, Mathew Palmer didn't have much work. He only praised politics in Macedonia for recent actions.
Serbia and Kosovo, Palmer brought a message: the importance of continuing dialogue and reaching an agreement.
About his meeting with Vuciq, the media echoed his statement on the Kosovo Army, which America is its pro-foundation ʹ declaration Palmer gave just in Belgrade. Since Vuciq is not on the edge of Serbian political criticism as an opposing figure for the leadership of dialogue with Kosovo, Palmer there (in Serbia) spoke only of the importance of continuing dialogue and agreement with Kosovo.
But when he came to Kosovo, Palmer carried out another task. Periscop sources within Palmer's meeting with the position and opposition in Kosovo say the US official has made it clear that khashim Thaci remains the key man for the West to lead talks with Serbia.
So they have told Periscop sources within the meeting where names of position and opposition such as Kadri Veselini, Ramush Haradinaj, Agim Veliu of LDK, Albin Kurti, Visar Ymer, Behgjet Pacolli, Jakup Krasniqi and Mimoza Kusari Lila.
According to sources, Palmer has told them at the meeting that Thaci's name is the one recommended for the leadership of talks by Federica Moghrini and the EU, so the United States of America believes in the European Union”.
So Palmer was quoted as saying at the table with his guests at the American Embassy in Pristina, as they have complained that APU Thaci is not creditable to guide the dialogue.
We remember that Prime Minister Ramush Haradinaj has declared that he cannot show what Palmer has said at this meeting”.
What did Mr. Haul say? Palmer, I have no right to talk. It's the American Embassy. Call them in. What we say we know our attitudes are, but it's very important that Mr. Palmer in Kosovo, a man of his rank, considering how busy they are in America with numerous themes. It really testifies to a determination of America to remain with Kosovo and the region. So this is the main order, his arrival, for more is the American Embassy”, Haradinaj declared. /Periscope.
