The position of the National Security Adviser at the White House is very important. The person holding this post office certainly has great influence and influence of the American head of state in decision making. H. R. McMister, who has held this position something more than a year now having a close to himself as well as a Kosovo-born adviser from Ylli Bajraktari, has left this position from Trump. Here comes Republican John Bolton, who was also considered for the post of Secretary of State but is said to have not liked Trump because of the mustache. Bolton has a bad record in terms of Kosovo statements.
John R. Bolton is no stranger to the world of diplomacy. In the administration of President Bush of Jr., he had held an important position in the United Nations, the ambassador's. Bolton had resigned, as it would hardly be confirmed by the majority Senate of Democrats.
But, Bolton had immediately become known for Kosovo, exactly in 2008, when Kosovo had declared independence, it was presented with several statements against the state of Kosovo.
Bolton was expressed against unilateral “ ”, because he estimated this is the only way to maintain peace and stability in the region.
That world, Bolton continued to display the stance against the Bush-led US administration, saying that the states of the region should not recognise Kosovo, as “is about the concept of people of different ethnic origin living together within the borders of heterogenous states”.
Bolton had also been part of Ronald Reagan's administration, while senior positions had held during the mandates of both Presidents Bush.
The Economist had gone by that he was the most controversial ambassador the United States had ever sent to the UN.
Kosovo's “Precident will be able to turn into a problem for countries of the former Yugoslavia and Europe that are multiethnic” said Bolton, who was appointed to the National Security Council post yesterday.
“Ende I think that the only way to preserve peace and stability in the region is to continue negotiations, this has not contributed to the most pressing decision to recognise Kosovo's” had Bolton said in 2008 about the Voice of America.
Bolton even mentioned partitioning Kosovo, saying Serb-run parts would be instructed by Serbia and would try to separate from Kosovo.
However, this does not solve other issues such as the rights of citizens of Serbs and other ethnic groups remaining in Kosovo”, he had said.
The former US ambassador had said that the fact that Russia, China and India and some other major powers have not recognised Kosovo's unilateral independence causes the deterioration of Moscow and Washington reports, as well as new confrontations in the Balkans.
“After the issue of Kosovo's status was resolved against Belgrade's will, but other powers, such as Russia, China has no doubt that in time this local problem could lead to tensions between Washington and Moscow and potentially other states, which is not in anyone's interest Bolton had said.
Otherwise, Bolton was also mentioned as a potential candidate for Secretary of State, but in the media, a theory that Trump did not like his thick mustache had circulated. Bolton is considered a hardline politician, far tougher than his successor, Mc Master. He even openly engages in the North Korean bombing. It remains to be seen whether his positions on Kosovo have changed, or how they will affect the line that the US is holding towards Kosovo.
